Optimal routing solution continued suppose now that x x p is an optimal flow vector for some sd pair w with paths p w any shift in traffic from any path p to some other path p cannot possibly decrease the total cost since x is assumed optimal define. Routing protocols that use distancevector routing include rip routing information protocol, ciscos igrp internet gateway routing protocol, and apples rtmp routing table maintenance protocol. Compare and contrast link state and distance vector routing algorithms. Updates which have looped through the network and returned to the same node are easily detected and discarded. Distance vector protocol send periodic update at every 30 or 90 second. With distance vector routing algorithm, router needs to process each routing update and update its routing table before flooding them out other interfaces. After the initial flooding of lsps, linkstate routing protocols only send out an lsp when there is a change in the topology. A is still unknown, thus routing table update o the same thing for node d from b to link. It is a point to point communication between sender and receiver.
