Explanation

b: Each node has a complete view of the network topology Explanation

Explanation

c: Nodes share routing tables with only one neighbor Explanation

Explanation

d: Routes are updated using hop count only Explanation

Explanation

Which algorithm is used in Link-State Routing to compute the shortest path?

a: Bellman-Ford Algorithm Explanation

Explanation

b: Dijkstra's Algorithm Explanation

Explanation

c: Floyd-Warshall Algorithm Explanation

Explanation

Explanation

What type of packet is used in Link-State Routing to share network information?

a: Link-State Packet (LSP) Explanation

Explanation

b: Distance Vector Packet Explanation

Explanation

c: Hello Packet Explanation

Explanation

d: ACK Packet Explanation

Explanation

What does a node do after receiving Link-State Packets (LSPs) from all other nodes?

a: It forwards them to the destination host Explanation

Explanation

b: It reconstructs the entire network topology Explanation

Explanation

c: It immediately updates the forwarding table Explanation

Explanation

d: It sends the LSPs back to neighbors Explanation

Explanation

What happens after the Link-State algorithm terminates?

a: Each node knows the complete least-cost path to all destinations Explanation

Explanation

b: Nodes must request updated routing information Explanation

Explanation

c: Only the shortest path to a single destination is known Explanation

Explanation

d: The algorithm starts again automatically Explanation
