as OSPF or IS-IS, a routing loop disappears as soon as the new network topology is flooded to all the routers within the routing area. Assuming a sufficiently...

Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) is an advanced distance-vector routing protocol that is used on a computer network for automating routing decisions...

Distance-vector routing protocols also require that a router inform its neighbours of network topology changes periodically. Distance-vector routing protocols...

[citation needed] Routing loops are tempered by a time to live (TTL) field in layer-3 packet header; Packets will circulate the routing loop until their TTL...

The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is one of the oldest distance-vector routing protocols which employs the hop count as a routing metric. RIP prevents...

characteristics of routing protocols include the manner in which they avoid routing loops, the manner in which they select preferred routes, using information...

Link-state routing protocols are one of the two main classes of routing protocols used in packet switching networks for computer communications, the others...

Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector Routing (DSDV) is a table-driven routing scheme for ad hoc mobile networks based on the Bellman–Ford algorithm. It...

could attempt to send packets over the bad route and cause a problem known as a routing loop. Therefore, route poisoning is used in conjunction with holddowns...

Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) is a routing protocol for wireless mesh networks. It is similar to AODV in that it forms a route on-demand when a transmitting...
