Distance Vector: Step by Step

This document discusses distance-vector algorithms for routing in computer networks. It provides the following information: - Distance-vector algorithms work by having each node track the shortest distance to every other node based only on information received from direct neighbors. - The Bellman-Ford algorithm is commonly used to implement distance-vector routing. It works through an iterative process where each node shares its routing table with neighbors and updates its own table based on received information. - An example is provided demonstrating how the Bellman-Ford algorithm converges on optimal routes through multiple iterations of nodes sharing distance vectors and updating their own routing tables accordingly. - The process of handling link failures through nodes marking failed links as infinite distance and propagating

Distance vector:

Each node sends list of its shortest distance to reach


each of its directly connected neighbors.

Algorithm:

Bellman-Ford algorithm

Distributed route computation using only neighbors


information.

Iterative, asynchronous:

each local iteration caused by:


Local link cost change
Distance vector update message from neighbor

Distributed:
Each node notifies neighbors only when its DV changes
Neighbors then notify their neighbors if necessary.

Bellman-Ford Algorithm:

Define distances at each node X

dx(y) = cost of least-cost path from X to Y

Update distances based on neighbors

dx(y) = min {c(x,v) + dv(y)} over all neighbors V

1 x

s

du(z) = min{c(u,v) + dv(z), c(u,w) + dw(z)}

Step-by-Step:

c(x,v) = cost for direct link from x to v

Node x maintains costs of direct links c(x,v)

Dx(y) = estimate of least cost from x to y

Node x maintains distance vector Dx = [Dx(y): y N ]

Node x maintains its neighbors distance vectors

For each neighbor v, x maintains Dv = [Dv(y): y N ]

Each node v periodically sends Dv to its neighbors

And neighbors update their own distance vectors

Dx(y) minv{c(x,v) + Dv(y)} for each node y N
