CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 383

Which of the following routing technologies uses an attribute list for path selection?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) employs an attribute list as part of its path selection process, which allows for more complex decision-making based on various metrics. In contrast, RIP (Routing Information Protocol), EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol), and OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) use different methods for route selection that do not involve an attribute list.
