Question

Why is adaptive routing superior to non adaptive routing?

Answer 1

Answer:

The purpose of adaptive routing is to help prevent packet delivery failure, improve network performance and relieve network congestion. ... Because routers share information about the network topology, adaptive routing can be less secure than non-adaptive routing processes and require more bandwidth.

Answer 2

Answer:

Adaptive routing algorithms are the algorithms that base its decisions on data which reflects the current traffic conditions. Non adaptive routing algorithms are the algorithms that consult static tables to determine which node to send the packet. Dynamic routing uses adaptive routing algorithms.
