CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 110

Which of the following internal routing protocols is best characterized as having fast convergence and being loop-free?

Answer options

• A. BGP
• B. STP
• C. OSPF
• D. RIP

Correct answer: C

Explanation

OSPF is designed for quick convergence and ensures a loop-free topology by using a link-state algorithm. BGP is an external routing protocol and does not fit the internal routing category, STP is used for preventing loops in Ethernet networks but is not a routing protocol, and RIP has slower convergence compared to OSPF.
