What are the main differences between a distance vector routing protocol and a link state routing protocol? Give examples for each type of protocol.

What will be an ideal response?


In a distance vector routing protocol, each node knows the distance to its directly connected neighbors and sends routing updates to its neighbors. Each node depends on its neighbors to update their distances and the routing tables eventually converge. The cost is the number of hops from one node to another and uses the Bellman-Ford algorithm. RIP is this type of protocol.
