Computer Networks (Routing Algorithm)

Question

St.No.	Routing Protocols	Persistent looping	Count to infinity problem
I	Distance vector routing protocol (DVRP)	Yes	Yes
II	Split horizon in DVR	No	Yes
III	Split horizon with poison reverse in DVR	No	No
IV	Link State Routing Protocol (LSRP)	No	No

 

Which of the following statements is/are TRUE? 

1. I, III and IV, as Persistent looping and count to infinity are the same thing.
2. Only IV
3. II and IV
4. All of I,II,III and IV 

Answer 1

Answer : Option D All of I, II, III and IV.

Count to Infinity problem arises because of routing loop formations. These routing loops may be either persistent as in case of DVR, or Transient as in case of LSR.

I think what @Himanshu555 is saying is correct and one more thing is that.

both persistent looping and count to infinity problem are same.

Thanks @Pranavpurkar Corrected Now

The Answer is I ans IV ..

In some case Instability will possible even though you use split horizon or split with postion reverse or hold down timers or Triggered updates ..

For instance take four nodes 3 in triangle …

Options are wrong...
