Distance Vector and State Link Routing Protocols
Routing protocols are fundamental to network communication, and two prominent categories are Distance Vector and State Link protocols. Distance Vector protocols, exemplified by Routing Information Protocol (RIP), make routing decisions based on cumulative distances to destinations, conveyed through periodic updates. They employ algorithms like Bellman-Ford and rely on routing tables to determine the best paths. However, the convergence time can be slower due to periodic updates, and scalability may be challenging in large networks. Distance Vector Protocol A Distance Vector…
