The reason RIP is called a distance-vector algorithm is because of the way it determines the "best path" from one route to another. This is accomplished by something called a "cost metric", meaning that the "cost" of a route determines whether a path is a better path than some other route.

A path may be more "costly" than another based on the distance it must travel, or the number of networks it must go through to reach the source. Since the cost metric is based primarily on distance and no other factors, it is known as a distance vector algorithm when determining route cost.

How does the bellman ford algorithm work?

This distance-vector algorithm works by computing the shortest path , and considers weights. The algorithm was distributed widely in the RIP protocol.


What type of routing algorithm does BGP use?

Best Path Algorithm, also known as Path-Vector Routing Internetworking with Cisco and Microsoft Technologies pg. 297 If you are in net+ 3rd edition like me, I do not belive this protocol is mention which leads me to believe the answer we are looking for in the study guide is Distance Vector, since BGP is a distance vector protocol. It can only be one of two in this case afaik, distance vector or Link State. :)


How do you search a particular element from the vector?

To search a particular element from the vector, use the find() algorithm. If the vector is sorted, you can use the binary_search() algorithm to improve efficiency. Both algorithms can be found in the <algorithm> header in the C++ standard library.

What routing protocol depends on the dual algorithm to calculate the shortest path?

Enhanced Interior Gateway Protocol It is a Cisco proprietary protocol. It uses bandwidth and delay by default to calculate the best path. It can also use load and delay, but these are usually not used. It is a distance vector routing protocol. It keeps a topology map, but it is only similar to the topology map of link state routing protocols.
