| Comparison |
|---|
| Distance Vector | Link State
| View network from neighbor's perspective
| Get common view of entire network topology
| Add distance vectors form router to router
| Caculate the shortest path to other routers
| Frequent periodic updates: | slow convergence Event triggered upfates: | faster convergence Passes copies of routing tables to neighbor routers
| Passes Link-State routing updates to other routers
| |
|---|
| Link State vs Distance Vector |
|---|
| Advantages | Disadvantages
| Fast convergence: changes are reported
immediately by the source affected
| Significant demands on memory and processing resources
| Robustness against routing loops
| Requires very strict network design
| Routers know the topology
| Requires a knowledgeable network administrator
| Link-state packets are sequenced and aged
| Initial flooding can impede network performance
| The link-state database sizes can be
minimized with careful network design
