Question No: 40 ( M a r k s: 1 ) http://vuzs.net
On of the design goals for unicast route propagation is __________.
► Consistency
► inconsistency
► stability
► dynamic addressing
On of the design goals for unicast route propagation is stability—continual changes in route are undesirable because they lead to higher jitter and datagram arriving out of order. Thus, once a unicast routing protocol finds a shortest path, it usually retains the route until a failure makes the path unusable. (Reference from E-book)
