Question

Some devices for this process suffered outages on “512k day” in August 2014. This process’s “cold potato” form can be implemented using multi-exit discriminators. A set of rules for this process are subject to the “count to infinity” problem and can employ “poisoning” in order to avoid loops. (-5[1])The CIDR method is commonly used to allocate 128-bit numbers (-5[1])for use in this process. (15[1])Distance (*) vector protocols that perform this process often employ the Bellman-Ford algorithm, which computes the shortest path from one source node to all possible destinations. Devices that perform this process use namesake “tables” that aim to minimize (10[1])a metric such as hop count or bandwidth. For 10 points, name this process of choosing a path for network traffic, (10[1])which is performed in the home using modems. (10[1])■END■ (10[2])

ANSWER: routing [accept specific algorithms such as distance-vector routing or link-state routing; prompt on IP address allocation by asking “for use in what process?”]
