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.
