What are the different types of distance-vector routing protocol?

There are four distance vector IPv4 IGPs:

  • RIPv1: First generation legacy protocol.
  • RIPv2: Simple distance vector routing protocol.
  • IGRP: First generation Cisco proprietary protocol (obsolete and replaced by EIGRP)
  • EIGRP: Advanced version of distance vector routing.

What are the three main elements of distance vector routing?

Routing Table

  • NET ID: The Network ID defines the final destination of the packet.
  • Cost: The cost is the number of hops that packet must take to get there.
  • Next hop: It is the router to which the packet must be delivered.

What are the types of routing protocols?

7 types of routing protocols

  • Routing information protocol (RIP)
  • Interior gateway protocol (IGRP)
  • Enhanced interior gateway routing protocol (EIGRP)
  • Open shortest path first (OSPF)
  • Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP)
  • Border gateway protocol (BGP)
  • Immediate system-to-immediate system (IS-IS)

Are two popular examples of distance vector routing protocols?

RIP and BGP are two popular examples of distance vector routing protocols.

Is EIGRP a distance-vector protocol?

EIGRP is an enhanced distance vector protocol that evolved from Cisco’s IGRP. Although IGRP is now obsolete, a network that still uses routers based on the protocol can interoperate with EIGRP-based routers because the metrics used with one protocol can be translated into the metrics of the other protocol.

Is BGP a distance-vector protocol?

“Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a standardized exterior gateway protocol designed to exchange routing and reachability information between autonomous systems (AS) on the Internet. The protocol is often classified as a path vector protocol but is sometimes also classed as a distance-vector routing protocol.”
