Abstract
In this paper we give an overview of distance vector routing protocols. We focus on the convergence mechanisms in two widely known distance
vector routing protocols: EIGRP and RIP. With the aim to provide open source
protocol, we propose a solution that inherits the simplicity of the RIP protocol
and the fast convergence of the EIGRP protocol. We believe that our proposal
will provide faster convergence and better scalability in large networks.
