Compare and contrast link-state and distance-vector routing algorithms. This does not have to be a long explanation. Please do not just copy material from the text or the Internet.
Computer Networks question
Distance-vector routing algorithms | link-state routing algorithms |
Entire routing table is sent as update | Update are incremental and entire routing table is not sent as update |
Send periodic update(every fixed interval of time) (Generally the time period is very short approx 30 or 90 seconds) | Updates are triggered not periodic |
Update are broadcast(one to all type) | Updates are multicast(one to many) |
Updates are sent to directly connected neighbour only | updates are sent to entire netwrok |
Routers don't have end to end visiblity of entire network | Routers have visiblity of entire network of that area only |
Prone to routing loop | No routing loop |
