Which two statements are characteristics of a distance vector routing protocol? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AEach router has its own view of the topology.
• BUpdates are periodic and include the entire routing table.
• CRouting updates are sent only after topology changes.
• DConvergence is usually faster than with link-state protocols.
• ERIP is an example of distance vector routing protocols.
• FThe protocol can be useful in hub-and-spoke and hierarchical networks.

Explanation

Distance vector routing protocols are characterized by two key behaviors selected here. (B) Updates are periodic and include the entire routing table-protocols like RIP broadcast the full routing table to neighbors at regular intervals (every 30 seconds for RIP), regardless of whether changes occurred. (E) RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is the classic example of a distance vector protocol. The other options are incorrect: (A) describes link-state protocols where each router builds its own independent topology map via LSAs; (C) triggered updates on topology changes is a link-state characteristic; (D) is false-link-state converges faster than distance vector; (F) hierarchical and hub-and-spoke designs benefit from link-state protocols like OSPF with areas.
