I am not too good with the details yet but here is what I know...

In the distance vector routing algorithm, when the link cost for any link drops this good news travels very fast. But when the link cost for any link increases, this bad news takes many iterations of the algorithm to travel. This problem that the distance vector algorithm has with propagation of bad news is called the count to infinity problem. When I learn more about the details of this, I would come back to this page and add more details.

oh btw, I found this great link for a short explanation See related links

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.

Explain any two dynamic routing algorithms?

Dynamic or adaptive Routing algorithms in contrast change their routing decisions to reflect changes in topology and usually the traffic as well Dynamic routing attempts to solve this problem by constructing routing tables automatically, based on information carried by routing protocols, and allowing the network to act nearly autonomously in avoiding network failures and blockages. Dynamic routing dominates the Internet. However, the configuration of the routing protocols often requires a skilled touch; one should not suppose that networking technology has developed to the point of the complete automation of routing.


Which routing protocol has the most trustworthy administrative distance by default?
