The two main types of routing protocols are used to make routing decision based on either distance-vector routing protocols or link-state routing protocols. However, there are a handful of De facto and proprietary interior protocols in use. Which De facto protocol uses link-state algorithms to send out routing table information?
A)Routing Information Protocol
B)Open Shortest Path First
C)Interior Gateway Routing Protocol
D)None of the Above

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a De facto protocol using link-state algorithms to send out routing table information. The use of algorithms allow for smaller, more frequent routing table updates to take place. This provides a more stable network than Routing Information Protocol, but requires more memory and CPU resources to support the extra processing. OSPF allows for a hierarchical routing network that has a backbone link connecting all subnets together.
