Question

Difference between adaptive and non adaptive routing

Answer 1

Advantages of Adaptive routing : 1) It prevents packet delivery failure and improves network performance. 2) Routers adjust automatically in response to changes in network topology.
1) In Non adaptive routing the adjustments have to be manually updated. 
2) Network administrator has to enter the routing paths manually.

Answer 2

Answer:

Adaptive Routing algorithm :

Adaptive Routing algorithm :Adaptive routing algorithm is also called as dynamic routing algorithm. In this algorithm, the routing decisions are made based on network traffic and topology. The parameters which are used in adaptive routing algorithms are distance, hop, estimated transit time and count.

Adaptive routing algorithm is of three types –

• Centralized algorithm
• Isolation algorithm
• Distributed algorithm

Non-Adaptive Routing algorithm :

Non-Adaptive Routing algorithm :Non-adaptive routing algorithm is also called as static routing algorithm. In a non-adaptive routing algorithm, the routing decisions are not made based on network traffic and topology. This algorithm is used by static routing. Non-adaptive routing algorithms are simple as compared to

Adaptive routing algorithm in terms of complexity.

Non-adaptive routing algorithm is of two types –

• Flooding
• Random walks
