From your favorite Web site, find what is meant by “gossiping-based routing.” What are the advantages and limitations of such an approach? Explain clearly.

What will be an ideal response?


To reduce the overhead incurred due to routing messages (which are mostly wasteful), a gossip based protocol proposes to send the routing messages with some probability. Messages die out when spanned over a large region, thus limiting the overhead involved.
Advantages: Considerably reduces message overhead due to routing messages.
Limitations: Performance might degrade in highly mobile or smaller networks.
Also, the value of the transmission probability has to be suitably fixed to ensure proper network functionality.
