Explanation

b: By exchanging distance vectors with neighbors Explanation

Explanation

c: By sending data packets to all nodes Explanation

Explanation

d: By maintaining a central routing table Explanation

Explanation

Which mathematical equation is used to update a node's distance vector?

a: Dₓ(y) = max{c(x, v) - Dᵥ(y)} Explanation

Explanation

b: Dₓ(y) = min{c(x, v) + Dᵥ(y)} Explanation

Explanation
