An example of a distance vector routing protocol is Routing Information Protocol (RIP). RIP uses hop count as its primary metric for determining the best path to a destination, with a maximum limit of 15 hops. It periodically shares its routing table with neighboring routers, allowing them to update their own tables based on the received information. This protocol is simple to implement but may have slower convergence times compared to more advanced routing protocols.
Two Characteristics: RIP is an example of distance vector routing protocols. Updates are periodic and include the entire routing table
EIGRP
RTMP- Routing Table Maintenance Protocol.
Border Gateway Protocol.
Which two technologies can be used in distance vector routing protocols to prevent routing loops?
OSPF is a link-state routing protocol.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) are two very popular Distance Vector routing 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.
In a distance vector routing protocol, such as RIP or EIGRP, each router sends its routing table to neighboring routers. The routers don't know the topology, i.e., how other routers are interconnected. In a link state routing protocol, such as OSPF or IS-IS, routers first exchange information about connections within the network (or an area of the network), and build a topology table. Then each router uses Dijkstra's algorithm to calculate the best route to each destination.
A Distance Vector protocol is a type of routing protocol used in computer networks to determine the best path for data packets. It operates by having each router periodically share its routing table with its immediate neighbors, which includes information about the distance (usually in terms of hops) to various network destinations. Routers update their own routing tables based on the information received, allowing them to calculate the shortest path to each destination. Examples of Distance Vector protocols include Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP).
To determine which routing protocol is not a Distance Vector protocol, we need to identify one among the options provided. Common Distance Vector protocols include RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and IGRP (Interior Gateway Routing Protocol). In contrast, OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and IS-IS (Intermediate System to Intermediate System) are examples of Link-State protocols, which operate differently by maintaining a complete map of the network topology rather than sharing distance information. Thus, if OSPF or IS-IS is one of the options, it would be the correct answer.
It uses hop count in route selection. It is a distance-vector protocol.
