Question 1

What type of routing protocol provides a complete map of the network?

  • Distance-Vector
  • Link-State
  • Both

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about which protocol shares more information among routers.

Question 2

True or False: Distance-Vector protocols are less complex to implement than Link-State protocols.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on the ease of understanding both protocols.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Imagine you have a network of routers using Distance-Vector protocols. A critical connection goes down, affecting a main hub. Describe the steps that would occur and how routers would respond over time.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think through the sequence of updates and neighbor exchanges.

Question 2

Describe a scenario in which you would prefer a Link-State protocol over a Distance-Vector one. What are the critical factors leading to this preference?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on network size, complexity, and stability requirements.
