What do you mean by route poisoning? |
|
Answer» Route poisoning refers to a method that prevents certain networks from sending data PACKETS to PATH destinations that have already become invalid. This method is being employed by distance vector routing protocols like RIPv2 whenever they see any invalid route to prevent routing loops. It is generally used to overcome large routing loops and informs all the connected routers in a NETWORK about the path that is invalid by saying that it has a hop count that exceeds the MAXIMUM allowable. |
