Distance Vector vs. Link-State Protocol.

Distance Vector vs. Link-State Protocol.

Distance Vector Protocol:
- Each router in the protocol sends information about destination and next hop to reach there, to its neighbor routers
- The routes will be installed directly in the tables.

Link-State Protocol:
- The links attached to the routers and the state of these links are sends by each router
- The protocol is available through out the network
- The router’s table is calculated by individual routers.
