What is the difference between distance vector and link-state routing?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is B) Distance vector routers know only next-hop and cost (Bellman-Ford); link-state routers know the full topology and use Dijkstra
B
Correct Answer
Distance vector routers know only next-hop and cost (Bellman-Ford); link-state routers know the full topology and use Dijkstra
Explanation
Distance vector (RIP): slow convergence, count-to-infinity problem. Link-state (OSPF, IS-IS): routers flood topology info, build a complete map, faster convergence, more scalable.
