Routing Algorithm

The Distance Vector algorithm is one in which global information is given to local nodes - that is neighboring nodes. Below is a table of how a node interacts with it's peers, but first an example:

Notes

Who:

Broadcasts information to it's neighbors

What:

(Destination, Cost) tuples

When:

Periodically and when triggered by a change. Information is deleted after a time out.

  • Converges when the topology is static
  • Suseptible to routing loops - race to infinity problem.
  • Routing loops between neighbors can be fixed with either SplitHorizon or SplitHorizon with poison reverse.

Example: InteriorGatewayRoutingProtocol (IGRP)
