Link State and Distance Vector Routing Protocols
Protocol Examples Characteristics
Distance Vector RIP v1 & Rip V2
  • Copies Routing table to neightbors
  • Updates frequentlu
  • RIP v1 & v2 use hop count as metric
  • View the network from the perspective of the neighbors
  • Slow to converge
  • Susceptible to routing loops
  • Easy to configure and administer
  • Consumes a lot of bandwith
Link-State OSPF
IS-IS
  • Uses shortest path
  • Updates are event triggered
  • Sends Link-state packets to all network routers
  • Has common view of network
  • Fast to converge
  • Not as susceptible to routing loops
  • Harder to configure
  • Requires more memory and processing power than distance vector.
