Distance Vector means that Routers are advertised as vector of distance and direction. 'Direction' is represented by next hop address and exit interface, whereas 'Distance' uses metrics such as hop count.
Routers using distance vector protocol do not have knowledge of the entire path to a destination. Instead DV uses two methods:
RIP version 1and 2 and IGRP.
Which two technologies can be used in distance vector routing protocols to prevent routing loops?

Distance vector protocols compute their routing tables before sending routing updates; link-state protocols do not.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) are two very popular Distance Vector routing protocols
Distance vector routing is used when the network is simple and has no hierarchical design. Examples of distance vector routing protocols are RIP and IGRP.

Distance vector protocols exchange their routing tables, and add a metric to each route. Link-state routing protols exchange topology information, then calculate the routes. As a result, there are the following fundamental differences:The information that is exchanged - routing table vs. topology information.Link-state protocols know the topology of the network (or an area); distance vector routing protocols don't.When the best route is calculated: in distance-vector routing protocols, a metric is added while the route is propagated from router to router. In link-state protocols, the best route is calculated separately by each router, only after having complete topology information.
IGRP and RIPv1
Two Characteristics: RIP is an example of distance vector routing protocols. Updates are periodic and include the entire routing table
Distance Vector protocols use the Bellmanâ??Ford algorithm. The ARPANET system relied on Distance Vector protocols as their main routing technique in the early 80s.
They send their routing tables to directly connected neighbors.
A routing protocol is a formula that specifies how routers are communicating to each others. Types of routing protocols include Interior Gateway Protocol, Distance vector protocol and Classful or classless protocol. Routing protocols are required to determine the appropriate paths for data transmission.
