Distance-Vector Routing.
When it comes to Distance Vector Routing, this term would mean distance or direction. The direction of the router can go two ways distance, meaning metric terms, or terms of the next hop router that will be used. Distance Vector Routing Protocols can consist of these types of information (RMPT) Routing Table Maintenance or (XNS) Xerox Networking Systems. The Distant vector Router sends all updates to its neighboring router, this protocol uses an algorithm that helps the router to send all routed updates to its neighbors.
Some of the advantages of distant vector routing are as follows.
" The routing is easy to configure in its linking state.
" It is easier to manage than it would be using the linking state.
" It updates and also sends them to each router that is a neighbor.
" Distant vectors cover hop by hop.
" Has periodic updates.
Disadvantages of Distance Vector routing:
" It has a slower process that is uses and is slower than using a link state.
" There is a high risk with Distant Vector Routing.
" This protocol ha more traffic than a link state
" Hop counts a checked randomly.
" When you use a large network, it is harder for the protocol uses larger tables to route.
" It usually has problems with the WAN links or the RIP.
" These protocols have less complexity and messages overhead than the other protocol that is used I this type of situation.
Distant Vector Routing uses an algorithm to calculate paths and is good for larger networks also. This protocol needs to know when the router is set to a new topology, and this would notify all nodes of the topology change. Say you have Star based Topology, and you switch to a Full Mesh, the vector routing protocol needs this information in order to send the messages to another site. With this vector a lot more work can be done by the protocol sending the new topology to the system, so that is knows what to do in order to send the information in messages. Overall, the Distance Vector Routing Protocol is widely used and has two ways of doing its work, through distance and direction that the information is traveling. This is why it's so unique to me, it has two different ways to get the information it needs and traces the topology changes that are applied to the network.
