Using a ____ algorithm, the router calculates a particular route's metric based on factors such as the number of routers between the two networks, the bandwidth of lines between networks, network congestion, and delays.
A)link-state
B)spanning-tree
C)cut-through
D)distance-vector

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Distance-vector algorithms calculate the best route based on various metrics such as the number of hops, bandwidth, and delay between networks. Link-state algorithms consider the entire network topology and then calculate the shortest path to any given node, but they are generally more complex and resource-intensive. Spanning-tree and cut-through are different types of switching algorithms and are not relevant to routing.
