Routing Algorithm
The Distance Vector algorithm is one in which global information is given to local nodes - that is neighboring nodes. Below is a table of how a node interacts with it's peers, but first an example:
B / \ A - C |\ \ | E D | / F---G Figure 1
We build two tables
Initial distances stored at each node (global view)
Initial routing table at node A.

Notes
Who: |
Broadcasts information to it's neighbors |
What: |
(Destination, Cost) tuples |
When: |
Periodically and when triggered by a change. Information is deleted after a time out. |
- Converges when the topology is static
- Suseptible to routing loops - race to infinity problem.
Routing loops between neighbors can be fixed with either SplitHorizon or SplitHorizon with poison reverse.
