Distance-Vector Routing Protocols

Routing By Rumor

The distance-vector routing algorithm passes its complete routing table contents to neighboring routers, which then combine the received routing table entries with their own routing tables to complete and update their individual routing tables.

Round-Robin Load Balancing

This type of load balancing is a simple way to distribute client requests across a group of servers. A client request is forwarded to each server in turn. The algorithm instructs the load balancer to go back to the top of the list and repeats again.

Converged

When the routing tables include all the information about all the networks in the internetwork.

• The remote network number.

• The interface that the router will use to send packets to reach that particular network

• The hop count, or metric, to the network

What three important things in each router keeps information in the routing table?

Convergence Time

The time required by protocols to update their forwarding tables after changes have occurred.
