C++ program to implement distance vector routing protocol

By Parul Lohia

C++ program for Go Back N ARQ is mainly used in Computer Networks, it uses the Bellman-Ford algorithm to calculate paths.

A router must notify its neighbors of topological changes on a regular basis under the DVR protocol. Recognized as the old ARPANET optimization mechanism in the past and it is also called the Bellman-Ford algorithm. Each router in Bellman-Ford keeps a Distance Vector table with the distances between itself and any and all potential destination nodes, Distances are calculated using a certain measure are calculated utilizing information from the distance vectors of the neighbors.

Algorithm: Inside a routing packet, a router sends its distance vector to each one of its neighbors. Every router receives the first most current distance vector of each of its neighbors and preserves it. When a router recomputed its distance-vector, it does so because It gets a distance-vector from a neighbor that contains different data than that of the previous one. Also, it could be that it learns that a relationship with a neighbor has gone down.
