During a network architecture review, an engineer explains how distance-vector routing protocols prevent routing loops on a local subnetwork. Specifically, the protocol prevents a router from advertising a learned route back out of the exact interface from which it received that update. Which mechanism is the engineer describing?
- Split horizonCevap
- BTime to Live (TTL) decrementing
- CDefault gateway redirection
- DCommand line port assignment
Cevap
Split horizon is the loop-prevention rule that prevents a router from advertising a network route back through the same interface from which it was learned.
Split horizon directly prevents distance-vector routing loops by prohibiting a router from sending routing information about a network back out of the interface through which the router originally learned about that network.
