CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 201

Which of the following protocols uses the Dijkstra's Link State Algorithm to establish routes inside its routing table?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, OSPF, as it utilizes Dijkstra's Link State Algorithm for routing. EIGRP, while it does use a different algorithm (DUAL), does not rely on Dijkstra's. BGP is a path vector protocol and does not use link-state algorithms, while RIP uses distance-vector routing, which is also not based on Dijkstra's algorithm.
