Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
💡 Hint: Think through the sequence of updates and neighbor exchanges.
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?
💡 Hint: Focus on network size, complexity, and stability requirements.
