Hello friends,

what is link state routing..?

[WoodsPainting]

In link state routing, each router shares its knowledge of its neighbourhood with all routers in the network. Link-state protocols implement an algorithm called the shortest path first (SPF, also known as Dijkstra's Algorithm) to determine the path to a remote destination.

Link-state routing protocols are one of the two main classes of routing protocols used in packet switching networks for computer communications, the other being distance-vector routing protocols. Examples of link-state routing protocols include Open Shortest Path First and Intermediate System to Intermediate System.
