Which of the following routing technique/techniques is/are used in distributed systems? (a) Fixed Routing (b) Virtual Routing (c) Dynamic Routing Correct Answer (a) only

The correct answer is option 1.

Distributed systems are using fixed routing whereas dynamic and virtual routing is not used in the distributed system.

Key Points
Fixed routing: A path from A to B is specified in advance; the path changes only if a hardware failure disables it.

  •  Since the shortest path is usually chosen, communication costs are minimized.
  •  Fixed routing can not adapt to load changes.
  • Ensures that messages will be delivered in the order in which they were sent.

Virtual routing: A path from A to B is fixed for the duration of one session.

  • Different sessions involving messages from A to B may have different paths
  • A partial remedy to adapting to load changes
  • Ensures that messages will be delivered in the order in which they were sent

Dynamic routing: The path used to send a message from site A to site B is chosen only when a message is sent.

  •  Usually, a site sends a message to another site on the link least used at that particular time
  • Adapts to load changes by avoiding routing messages on heavily used path
  • Messages may arrive out of order

Hence the correct answer is (a) only.

Consider a computer network using the distance vector routing algorithm in its network layer. The partial topology of the network is as shown below. The objective is to find the shortest-cost path from the router R to routers P and Q. Assume that R does not initially know the shortest routes to P and Q. Assume that R has three neighbouring routers denoted as X, Y, and Z. During one iteration, R measures its distance to its neighbours X, Y, and Z as 3, 2, and 5, respectively. Router R gets routing vectors from its neighbours that indicate that the distance to router P from routers X, Y, and Z are 7, 6, and 5, respectively. The routing vector also indicates that the distance to router Q from routers X, Y, and Z are 4, 6, and 8, respectively. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct with respect to the new routing table of R, after updation during this iteration ?
