Introducing Cisco Data Center Networking (DCICN) — Question 73

Which option is an example of an advanced distance vector routing protocol?

Answer options

• A. EIGRP
• B. RIP
• C. OSPF
• D. ARP

Correct answer: A

Explanation

EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) is recognized as an advanced distance vector routing protocol due to its efficient use of bandwidth and fast convergence times. In contrast, RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is considered a simpler distance vector protocol, while OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a link-state routing protocol and ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is used for mapping IP addresses to MAC addresses, not routing.
