The Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP), defined in RFC 1075, is a routing protocol used to share information between routers to facilitate the transportation of IP multicast packets among networks. It formed the basis of the Internet's historic multicast backbone, Mbone.
The All Hosts multicast group addresses all hosts on the same network segment. No 224.0.0.2 The All Routers multicast group addresses all routers on the same network segment. No 224.0.0.4 This address is used in the Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) to address multicast routers. No 224.0.0.5
A distance-vector routing protocol in data networks determines the best route for data packets based on distance. Distance-vector routing protocols measure the distance by the number of routers a packet has to pass; one router counts as one hop. Some distance-vector protocols also take into account network latency and other factors that ...

Although there are many types of routing protocols, three major classes are in widespread use on IP networks: Interior gateway protocols type 1, link-state routing protocols, such as OSPF and IS-IS; Interior gateway protocols type 2, distance-vector routing protocols, such as Routing Information Protocol, RIPv2, IGRP.
The poison reverse kicks in when a node broadcasts its distance vector to its neighbors. The distance vectors broadcast by Z are: To Y: node Z advertises its distance vector, replacing the last element by ∞, i.e., it sends [0, 1, ∞] To X: node Z advertises its distance vector, without any replacements, i.e., it sends [0, 1, 3] As we see in ...
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is one of the oldest distance-vector routing protocols which employs the hop count as a routing metric. RIP prevents routing loops by implementing a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path from source to destination. The largest number of hops allowed for RIP is 15, which limits the size of networks ...
Both of these routing protocols become intractable in large networks and cannot be used in inter-domain routing. Distance vector routing is subject to instability if there are more than a few hops in the domain. Link state routing needs significant resources to calculate routing tables. It also creates heavy traffic due to flooding.
