Title: Routing Tables

If I can add my two cents, the end result is to find the nexthop for the "best route" to the destination.  Link state protocols provide each router with the information to construct a complete map of the network.  Only changes are then propagated between routers.  Distance vector routing protocols route by rumor. Each router gets his copy of the routing table based on his neighbor's point of view.   Johnny ----- Original Message ----- From: Deloso, Elmer G.

That is, having a complete map of the entire network? Please correct me if I'm missing something. Thanks. Elmer Deloso
