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 are used by link-state routing protocols to share information about the state of links (or connections) between routers. This information allows routers to build a complete topology of the network, enabling them to make more informed routing decisions. Each router sends out Link-State Advertisements (LSAs) to inform its neighbors of its state and the state of its links.
