Description

Complete the following for this assignment:

  • Using the course materials, the textbook, and Web resources, research distance-vector routing protocols with a high concentration on the versions of RIP.
  • Use the following questions to help you format your research paper:
    • What is the purpose of a routing protocol and how does it differ from a routed protocol?
    • What is a distance-vector routing protocol?
    • What is a link state routing protocol?
    • What are the advantages and disadvantages of distance-vector protocols?
    • What are the advantages and disadvantages of link state protocols?
    • What is RIP?
    • What is OSPF?
    • What are the two versions of RIP, and what are their specific purposes?
    • When would you employ RIP, and when would you employ OSPF?
    • Describe what is necessary to enable OSPF routing.
  • Compile your responses to the above questions in a Word document of 3-5 pages.

Your submitted assignment must include the following:

  • A Word document of 3-5 pages, double-spaced, excluding the title page and reference section. All references should be in APA format. You may find that using section headings and bullets make the paper more readable.

Routing Protocol and Routed Protocol
Routing protocol is a type of networking protocols. Network protocols are set of
procedures, rules, standards and formats that determine how devices communicate within a
network (Medhi & Ramasamy, 2017). Routing protocol defines how routers will
communicate to each other in a computer network, providing information that enables them
to choose routes connecting any two nodes in the network. It enables routers maintain routing
tables. Routed protocol is different. It is a protocol by which data is routed. There are three
groups of routing protocols; distance-vector routing protocol, link state routing protocol and
hybrid routing protocol.
Distance –Vector Routing Protocol
Distance –Vector Routing Protocol is one of the routing protocols that send updates to
routers on the best route for data packets on distance basis. Distance –Vector Routing
Protocol need routing hardware to be able to report various nodes’ distances in a network or
IP topology to determine the most efficient routes (Vetriselvan et al., 2014).
Link State Routing Protocol
Link state routing is a routing technique which a router uses to share information to
other routers on other networks’ reachability and the metrics to reach them in order to
establish the best link (Vetriselvan et al., 2014). Link state routing ...
