distance vector protocolA simple routing protocol that uses distance or hop count as its primary metric for determining the best forwarding path. RIP, IGRP and EIGRP are examples. A distance vector protocol routinely sends its neighboring routers copies of its routing tables to keep them up-to-date. Distance vector protocols date back to the ARPAnet network in the early 1970s. Contrast with link state protocol and path vector protocol. See routing protocol. How to thank TFD for its existence?
