I am probably just being dim, but when you are talking about network routing algorithms, more specifically Dijkstra (link state) vs Bellman-Ford (distance-vector) what does it mean when you say
"Distance vector suffers from slow convergance"

Thanks in advance

lol I learnt all that shit at uni, but because I crammed so hard and got drunk so much I've forgotten it all within a year :(

Bleh, had to make a program from scratch which implemented Dijkstra's algorithm and this is my bloody first year at uni :( User enters x amount of nodes, states a distance between each of them and after which, can enter any 2 nodes. The program would then have to find the shortest route between them. I got close but couldn't get the damn thing working in the end.

Anyway, wont hijack the thread, just thought I'd post my annoyances at Dijkstra and his damn algorithm. Damn it all to hell! :D
