  1. IT Engineer says:

    A B are right

    the rest are false.
    when they say the whole routing table is sent in updates …they mean everything but the split horizon stuff..
    but i can see why you put false.

    D the protocol can be useful in a hub and spoke …..yes.
    but it all depends on how you build the hub and spoke….if you use frame relay then yes.
    other than that i would say no.
    and hierarchical networks…..i wouldnt say hierarchical…so answer false to this.

    And each router doesnt have a clue about topology….it just has a set of routes and that is it.
    topology means it knows about all routers and subnets etc.
    distace vector doesnt know this info

    and yes your right it is a complete waste of resources.

    eigrp is really distance vector too…but doesnt work like a standard distance vector …so im not taking it into consideration for this question
