Question 67

Two popular routing algorithms are Distance Vector(DV) and Link State (LS) routing. Which of the following are true?

    • (S1) Count to infinity is a problem only with DV and not LS routing

 

    • (S2) In LS, the shortest path algorithm is run only at one node

 

    • (S3) In DV, the shortest path algorithm is run only at one node

 

    (S4) DV requires lesser number of network messages than LS
A
S1, S2 and S4 only
B
S1, S3 and S4 only
C
S2 and S3 only
D
S1 and S4 only
Question 67 Explanation: 
→ Count to infinity problem only exist into the DVR.
→ In LSR shortest path is calculated at each every router. (B) is wrong.
→ In DVR also shortest path is calculated at each and every router. (C) is wrong.
→ Since DVR is based upon local knowledge whereas LSR is based upon global knowledge.
