Babel (protocol)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Babel is a distance-vector - routing protocol for unreliable computer networks . Babel was developed at the University of Paris-Diderot and is based on principles from DSDV , AODV and the EIGRP from Cisco .

The freedom from routing loops and fast convergence has been formally proven for Babel and is guaranteed even with most changes in the network topology .

The routing distance metric is calculated using a distributed Bellman-Ford algorithm which converges to O (n). Babel also uses the Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL).

Since August 2012, the Babel implementation of Quagga allows authentication.
