Define Distance Vector Routing Protocol.Packet switched networks utilizes Distance Vector Routing Protocol for the purpose of deciding the best packet forwarding path. Distance is typically the hop count. Distance Vector Routing Protocol has a set of rules which are used by routers for determining the most appropriate paths to which the packets forwarded to their destinations. DVRProtocols are simple, efficient for small networks and need little management. The convergence properties (process of updating routing tables) of DVRP are very poor.
