Linkstate and distance vector arent actual routing protocols, but types of routing protocol. Each router periodically sends information to each of its neighbors on the cost that it takes to get to a distance node. Let a be a router receiving a report d,c d from neighbor n at distance c n. Eigrp, a cisco proprietary protocol, is also technically distance vector, but it makes use of several optimisations that allow it to overcome the traditional shortcomings of distance vector protocols. What is the difference between link state routing and. There is a weight assigned to each link between two nodes. The protocol internet routing works on bgp is a distance vector protocol, because it is extremely scalable. One problem with distancevector routing is that it can send traffic to slower links which have less hops than faster links which have more hops, whereas linkstate routing doesnt care about the number of hops, only the cost, to get to the destination network, and the cost can reflect something important like the bandwidth of the path. As we saw in class, the distance table inside each node is the principal data structure used by the distance vector algorithm. No node has complete information about the costs of all links.
Beim distanzvektoralgorithmus auch bekannt als distanzvektorrouting oder distance vector. Distance vector distance vector protocols such as rip. On the downside, distance vector protocols do not scale well because they. Various linkstate algorithms have been developed the most common ones being dijkstras algorithm and prims algorithm. Distance vector exchanges the routing updates periodically whether the topology is change or not, this will maximize the convergence time which increases the chance of routing loops while the link state routing protocols send triggered change based updates when there is a topology change. For example, the border gateway protocol bgp is a pathvector algorithm, which is somewhat similar to the distancevector algorithm, but communicates much more detailed route information. You will find it convenient to declare the distance table as a 4by4 array of int s, where entry i,j in the distance table in node 0 is node 0s currently computed cost to node i. Each routing protocols belongs to one or both of them. Each node begins with only the knowledge of the costs of its own directly attached links. Each node notifies neighbors only when its dv changes neighbors then notify their neighbors if necessary wait for change in local link cost or message from neighbor recompute estimates if distance to any destination has changed, notify neighbors each node. The most common linkstate routing protocol is ospf open shortest path first. Distance vector protocol and link state protocol are two major sections in routing protocols.
When 180 seconds has passed since the last message from some neighbor, set its distance to 16. Basic idea every node knows how to reach its neighbors. Routing protocols are used to learn about its neighbors, network changes, and routes in a network. The prior difference between distance vector and link state routing is that in distance. For the love of physics walter lewin may 16, 2011 duration. The distance vector routing algorithm is also known as the distributed bellmanford algorithm. Some distancevector protocols also take into account network latency and other factors that influence traffic on a given route. Only dijkstras algorithm is discussed in the textbook and considered here. Distance vector and link state routing protocol ccna. Each packet contains only the distance vector for that router. The load on routers will be large however, since processing is complex. Distance vector algorithms get their name from the fact that it is possible to compute optimal routes when the only information exchanged is. When y detects cost change to 60, it will update its dv using the zs cost to x, which is 5 via y, to obtain an incorrect new cost to x of 6, over the path y z y x that has a loop 44 iterations before algorithm stabilizes. Compare and contrast link state and distance vector routing algorithms.
There are two major differences between distance vector routing protocols and link state routing protocols. Dynamic routing, as opposed to static manually entered routing, requires routing protocol algorithms. Distance vector protocols such as rip use the distance vector algorithm. The distance vector routing and link state routing are the two of routing algorithms, categorised depending on the way the routing tables are updated. When receiving a distancevector from a neighbor, save the received distance vector.
Routing protocols and architecturesthe distance vector. Distancevector routing protocols measure the distance by the number of routers a packet has to pass, one router counts as one hop. Why do linkstate routing protocols converge faster than. Choose the method best suited for designing a new routing protocol for a lan architecture. Dynamic routing protocols are categorized as either distance vector protocols or link state protocols. Since different environments have different requirements, there are different routing protocols.
