Consider a network systems having 4 routers P, Q, R and S as shown below. Initially, the routers use a distance vector routing, and use the number of hops as the distance metric.

Initially, link P-Q was down, and all routers agree P is unreachable. The link P-Q comes back up. Let ' $x$ ' be the number of exchange needed by router $P$ to stabilize its table having distance to all other router in the network. Assume the routers all exchange messages at the same instant. After reaching a steady-state the link P-Q goes down again. Let ' $y$ ' be the number of exchanges need for all routers to concluded router $P$ is unreachable. What are the values of ' $x$ ', ' $y$ ' respectively ?

  1. * 3, 5
  2. 5,7
  3. 4,6
  4. $\cup 4,7$
