Distance-Vector Routing is a type of routing protocol used in computer networks to determine the best path for data to travel. Each router maintains a table that lists the distance to various destinations and the next hop to reach them. Routers periodically share this information with their neighbors, allowing them to update their own tables based on the received data. This method relies on the principle of "vector," which represents the direction and distance to a destination. Common examples of Distance-Vector Routing protocols include RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and IGRP (Interior Gateway Routing Protocol), which help manage data traffic efficiently.
