Illustrate a network of three routers (A, B, C), with fixed costs between them. Simulate a link failure between routers and depict how routing tables would be updated over several cycles.
💡 Hint: Think of how each router views the network independently.
Given a system where routers use distance-vector protocols; define a scenario in which the split horizon might fail to solve a routing loop problem completely. Discuss additional techniques.
💡 Hint: Reflect on how routers interact in a mesh topology.
