But the classic disadvantage of Distance Vector Routing is the count to infinity problem which can be solved using Split Horizon. 1 votes 1 votes Rupendra Choudhary commented Oct 8, 2017 reply Follow Share Certainly split horizon alone can prevent looping problems but it has it's own disadvantages so we prefer to use it with poison reverse in which we send back(reverse) the entry of poisoned route to the interface from where that route information originally came... 1 votes 1 votes sachin486 commented Dec 24, 2021 reply Follow Share what rupendra said is very sufficient answer but if anyone need more understanding of split and poison check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2_6womzsrk 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
