What are two drawbacks of implementing a link-state routing protocol? (Choose two.)
A.
the sequencing and acknowledgment of link-state packets
B.
the requirement for a hierarchical IP addressing scheme for optimal functionality
C.
the high volume of link-state advertisements in a converged network
D.
the high demand on router resources to run the link-state routing algorithm
E.
the large size of the topology table listing all advertised routes in the converged network
Explanation:
Link State routing protocols, such as OSPF and IS-IS, converge more quickly than their distance
vector routing protocols such as RIPv1, RIPv2, EIGRP and so on, through the use of flooding and
triggered updates. In link state protocols, changes are flooded immediately and computed in
parallel. Triggered updates improve convergence time by requiring routers to send an update
message immediately upon learning of a route change. These updates are triggered by some event,
such as a new link becoming available oor an existing link failing. The main drawbacks to link state
routing protocols are the amount of CPU overhead involved in calculating route changes and
memory resources that are required to store neighbor tables, route tables and a complete topology
table. http://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=24090&seqNum=4
