What are the differences between path-vector routing and shortest-path routing? Explain clearly.

What will be an ideal response?


In the path vector routing (the routing protocol on which BGP is based), every
entry in the routing table contains the destination network, the next router and the
path to reach the destination. The path usually contains an ordered list of
autonomous systems that a packet should travel, which in some cases may not be
the shortest path. This differs from the shortest path routing protocol that just
specifies the next router in the routing table entry for the packet to be forwarded
to.
