Distance Vector means that Routers are advertised as vector of distance and direction. 'Direction' is represented by next hop address and exit interface, whereas 'Distance' uses metrics such as hop count.

Routers using distance vector protocol do not have knowledge of the entire path to a destination. Instead DV uses two methods:

  1. Direction in which or interface to which a packet should be forwarded.
  2. Distance from its destination.

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.


Why do link-state protocols converge faster than most distance vector protocols?

Distance vector protocols compute their routing tables before sending routing updates; link-state protocols do not.

When should distance vector routing be used?

Distance vector routing is used when the network is simple and has no hierarchical design. Examples of distance vector routing protocols are RIP and IGRP.

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.
