| distance vector RP | routing protocol that exchanges routing tables with neighbors |
| link state RP | routing protocol that exchanges entire data base with routers only when a change occurs |
| convergence | refers to all routers having the same understanding of network topology |
| default gateway | IP address of router interface where packets are sent if router has no information about how to route to that network |
