Detailed explanation-1: -Flooding broadcasts packets, but creates loops in the systems. RPF eliminates the loop in the flooding process. RPB creates a shortest path broadcast tree from the source to each destination. It guarantees that each destination receives one and only one copy of the packet.

Detailed explanation-2: -One technique to reduce the contents of a routing table is called the next-hop method. In this technique, the routing table holds only the address of the next hop Page 2 instead of information about the complete route (route method).

Detailed explanation-3: -Link State Packet (LSP) is a packet of information generated by a network router in a link state routing protocol that lists the router’s neighbors. Link state packets can be further defined as special datagrams that determine the names of and the cost or distance to any neighboring routers and associated networks.

Detailed explanation-4: -DVMRP The Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) is animplementation of multicast distance vector routing. It is a source-based routing protocol, based on RIP. The Core-Based Tree (CBT) protocol is a group-shared protocol that uses a core as the root of the tree.
