what is the main features of link state routing protocols?..

Answer / vikramsingh11

Link-state algorithms are also known as Dijkstras algorithm
or as SPF (shortest path first) algorithms.

Link-state routing algorithms maintain a complex database of
topology information.

The distance vector algorithm are also known as Bellman-Ford
algorithms. They have nonspecific information about distant
networks and no knowledge of distant routers.

A link-state routing algorithm maintains full knowledge of
distant routers and how they interconnect. Link-state
routing uses:

Link-state advertisements (LSAs)
A link-state advertisement (LSA) is a small packet of
routing information
that is sent between routers.

Topological database
A topological database is a collection of information
gathered from LSAs.

SPF algorithm
The shortest path first (SPF) algorithm is a calculation
performed on the
database resulting in the SPF tree.

in the ospf area network dr and bdr selection procedure occur let there are 4 router in that n/w r1 have the higher priority then r2 and r2 have higher priority then r3 and so on like that r1>r2>r3>r4 now as we know that selection of dr and bdr based upon the router priority so in this case r1 will be dr and r2 will be bdr now my question is that if i am going to implement 5th router which have greater priority then r1 then will it become dr atomically remember that i am not going change my 5 or 1st router property answer that one please
