Describe the various routing algorithms (Distance Vector, Link State).

Answer

Distance Vector vs Link State.

  • Distance Vector: Routers share knowledge of entire network with neighbors only (e.g., RIP, uses Bellman-Ford).
  • Link State: Routers share knowledge of neighbors with entire network (e.g., OSPF, uses Dijkstra's).
