What does the SPF algorithm consider to be the best path to a network?

  • The path that includes the fastest single bandwidth link.
  • The path with the smallest delays.
  • The path that includes the fastest cumulative bandwidth links.
  • The path with the least number of hops.

Explanation: Link-state protocols use accumulated cost to reach destination networks. The shortest path is not always the path with the least number of hops but instead the overall fastest pathway.
