D. Shortest Path First (SPF)
Question & Answer
The broadcast packets used by link-state protocols to share routing information about neighbor routers are called what?
1 Answer
Verified archiveThe correct answer is B. Link-State Algorithms (LSA).
Link-State Algorithms (LSAs) are the broadcast packets used by link-state routing protocols to share information about the state of the links and the routers in the network. They allow routers to create a complete map of the network topology, enabling them to determine the shortest path to each destination.
