Which of the following is TRUE about the interior gateway routing protocols $-$ Routing Information Protocol $(RIP)$ and Open Shortest Path First $(OSPF)$

  1. RIP uses distance vector routing and OSPF uses link state routing
  2. OSPF uses distance vector routing and RIP uses link state routing
  3. Both RIP and OSPF use link state routing
  4. Both RIP and OSPF use distance vector routing

Both Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) are Interior Gateway Protocol, i.e., they both are used within an autonomous system. RIP is an old protocol (not used anymore) based on distance vector routing. OSPF is based Link State Routing.

Correct Answer: $A$

(A) RIP uses distance vector routing and OSPF uses link state routing.

RIP always uses DVR .It is old protocol used by the DVR and depend upon the metric (hop count  to prevent from infinite looping.).

Whereas OSPF is totaly depend upon LSR.

Differences Between RIP and OSPF

Feature

 		OSPF
 
Type
 		Distance Vector Routing
 		Link-State Routing
 
Metric
 		Hop Count
 		Cost (Bandwidth)
 
AlgorithmBellman-FordDijkstra’s SPF
 
UpdatesPeriodic (every 30 seconds)Incremental (only topology changes)
 
ScalabilitySuitable for small networksSuitable for large networks
 
Convergence Time
 
Slow

 		Fast
 
Routing Loops
 		Possible (mitigated by timers)
 		Prevented by design
 
Classful/Classless
 		RIP v1: Classful, RIP v2: Classless
 		Classless
 
Security
 		Minimal (basic authentication in RIP v2)
 		Supports advanced authentication
 
Resource Usage
 		Low
 		High
 
Network HierarchyNo hierarchyHierarchical (areas)

 

 

RIP is simple and suitable for smaller networks, while OSPF is more robust and ideal for larger, complex networks.

Option A is correct

Distance vector routing always uses RIP whereas LINK state routing algorithm always uses OSPF.
