Question
Select all statement(s) that are true.(a) A link state protocol floods information to each AS router about the state of all routers in the AS.(b) A link state protocol is an IGP routing protocol used in packet switching networks.(c) OSPF uses a Link State Advertisement (LSA) message to distribute changes or initial startup information to other routers.
Solution
All the statements are true.
(a) A link state protocol does flood information to each Autonomous System (AS) router about the state of all routers in the AS. This is done to ensure that all routers have the same information about the network topology.
(b) A link state protocol is indeed an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) routing protocol used in packet switching networks. It is used to exchange routing information within a single routing domain or Autonomous System.
(c) Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) does use a Link State Advertisement (LSA) message to distribute changes or initial startup information to other routers. This is part of the OSPF's process of maintaining and distributing the database of the network's state.

Consider a network of 8 routers connected together to provide more than one path of connectivity between host A and host B at two different locations. In order for these routers to understand the various available paths in the network, they are all running a link state routing protocol. What statement is true about this configuration:Group of answer choicesThe routers will only transmit packets generated by the link-state protocol.The routers will transmit the headers of packets only.The routers will transmit packets with client’s data and packets generated by the link-state protocol.The routers will transmit the payload and checksum fields of packets only.
