Title: BGP !!!

Hi,

 

  First of all BGP is NOT distance vector protocol nor link state, it is a path vector protocol.

Second it is not a routing protocol, routing tables and bgp tables are two different thing.

 

I hope it clears some things.

Subject: BGP !!!

        I was always hearing about the great BGP as a very scalar protocol with lots of advantages, and suddenly I was a little shocked to learn that it was a variant of the distance-vector-protocol

I have read many books praising the qualities of link-state protocols and mentioning the disadvantages of distance vector protocols I am a bit confused as a matter of preference what should I generally speak about distance vector protocol V/s Link state protocols.

Lots of lessons and surprises to be learnt more,

Thanks and Regards,

Pls .If somebody can elaborate and explain that will be great.
