I think that the only answer correct is D. RIP, for example, doesn't exchange information about links, nor have a hello mechanism. OSPF and BGP don't send periodic updates, they send triggered updates.
What is sure is that all routing protocols exchange information about routes, that's what they were designed for.

A (periodic updates): RIP does that for sure. not sure for ospf and bgp. B: hello mechanism... not sure if all do, but i guess it is true as well (guess though) --- mlh wrote: > Hi, there, > > The following question has been given a reference > answer : ABCD > But I am not sure: All routing protocols update > periodically? > All of them send hello message? what is the > difference between > information about links and routes? > > What are some characteristics of routing protocols? > > A - Send periodic updates. > B - Have a separate hello mechanism. > C - Exchange information about links. > D - Exchange information about routes. > E - No answer is correct [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
