A distance vector routing protocol is a type of routing protocol that works by exchanging information about the routes to each destination within a network. It uses a process of exchanging information between each node in the network, which contains the distance, or cost, and the vector, or direction, of the route. The route with the lowest cost is then chosen as the best route for network traffic to take. Distance vector routing protocols include RIP (Routing Information Protocol), IGRP (Interior Gateway Routing Protocol), and BGP (Border Gateway Protocol).
