What are two characteristics of link-state routing protocols? (Choose two.)
- hey can load balance across unequal metric cost paths.
- They use path attributes to determine the best loop-free path.
- They periodically send full routing table updates to directly connected neighbors.
- They provide routers with a synchronized identical map of the network.
- They use more CPU and memory resources than distance vector protocols do.
Explanation: Link-state protocols like OSPF and ISIS use more CPU and memory resources than distance vector protocols do because they maintain a complete synchronized map of the network and run the SPF algorithm to determine the best path.
