Question

Why OSPF is faster than RIP? 5 marks

Answer 1

OSPF(open shortest path first) is faster than RIP because it uses the link state routing where by it analyzes different sources like the speed, cost and path congestion while identifying the shortest path while RIP (routing information protocol) applies the distance routing protocol where by it uses distance or hop to determine the transmission path.

OSPF is faster than the RIP because The router consolidates the routing table by getting only required information from the neighboring devices, never gets the entire routing table. while in RIP The router consolidates the routing table from the neighboring devices to construct its own routing table and sends it to neighboring devices at a regular interval, thus making OSPF faster
