That would be a distance-vector routing protocol. Examples (taught at Cisco Academies) include RIP, IGRP (obsolete in the new version of the curriculum), and EIGRP - but those are only for IP, and there are also distance-routing protocols for other networking protocols, for example, RIP for IPX.

What describes the process that routers use within a network to learn each other's routes?

routers use routing protocols to exchange routing information. check out the link below for lots of information on routing protocols.


21 what types of routing protocols allows routers to exchange information about best paths with their neighboring routers only?

distance vector routing


What two characteristics are commonly associated with dynamic routing protocols?

- provide routers with up-to-date routing tables - consume bandwidth to exchange route information


What is Distance Vector protocols?

Distance vector protocols are routing protocols that use the distance and direction to a destination network to make routing decisions. Examples include RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol). These protocols share routing information with neighboring routers and update their routing tables based on the information received.


What enables routers to automatically manage information received from their own interfaces and from other routers in order to quickly update the routes they know?

What is the differences between routing and routed protocols?

Routing protocols are used by routers (RIP, EIGRP, OSPF) Routed protocols are the actual protocols on the wire (TCP/IP)


What is RIP routing protocol?

RIP is a routing protocol - a protocol (set of rules) that allows a router to exchange information, with other routers, about existing routes.


What is rip protocol?

RIP is a protocol used by routers to exchange information about their routing tables. In dynamic routing, a router learns from other routers about possible routes by advertising what they know. RIP is a protocol that can do that.

What is one fundamental difference between distance vector routing protocols and link state routing protocols?

Distance vector protocols exchange their routing tables, and add a metric to each route. Link-state routing protols exchange topology information, then calculate the routes. As a result, there are the following fundamental differences:The information that is exchanged - routing table vs. topology information.Link-state protocols know the topology of the network (or an area); distance vector routing protocols don't.When the best route is calculated: in distance-vector routing protocols, a metric is added while the route is propagated from router to router. In link-state protocols, the best route is calculated separately by each router, only after having complete topology information.


What is flat routing protocol?

Flat routing protocol is a network communication protocol implemented by routers in which all routers are each other's peers. Flat routing protocol distributes routing information to routers that are connected to each other without any organization or segmentation structure between them. Flat routing protocols are primarily those that don't work under a predefined network layout and perimeter. They enable the delivery of packets among routers through any available path without considering network hierarchy, distribution and composition. Flat routing protocol is implemented in flat networks where each router node routinely collects and distributes routing information with its neighboring routers. The entire participating node addressed by flat routing protocol performs an equal role in the overall routing mechanism. Routing Information Protocol, Interior Gateway Routing Protocol and Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol are popular examples of flat routing protocols.
