Routing Algorithms Presentation

The document discusses routing algorithms used to determine optimal data paths in networks, focusing on three main types: Distance Vector, Link State, and Hierarchical Routing. Each algorithm has distinct characteristics, applications, and complexities, with Distance Vector being simple but slow, Link State offering fast convergence, and Hierarchical Routing providing scalability for large networks. The choice of algorithm significantly impacts network performance, with mixed approaches often employed in practice.

Distance Vector Routing –
Overview

• - Uses Dijkstra’s Algorithm
• - Sends LSAs upon changes
• - Builds topology map
Link State – Characteristics
• - Fast convergence
• - Efficient bandwidth use
• - High resource needs
• - Example: OSPF
Hierarchical Routing – Overview
• - Divides network into areas
• - Maintains local & summary routes
• - Used in large-scale networks
• - Examples: BGP, OSPF with areas
Hierarchical Routing –
Characteristics
• - High scalability
• - Efficient large-network routing
• - Complex configuration
