Question 769

Which of the following routing protocols uses attributes to select the best path?

    Correct Answer: B

    BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) uses attributes to select the best path. BGP attributes are categorized as well-known mandatory, well-known discretionary, optional transitive, and optional non-transitive, and they play a crucial role in path selection by influencing route decisions and providing additional information about the routes. Other protocols like OSPF, EIGRP, and RIP use different metrics such as cost, composite metrics, and hop count, respectively, to determine the best path but do not use the term 'attributes' specifically in their path selection process.

Idk why or how or who or f comptia.

BGP is correct.

Unless I'm dumb, OSPF, open shortest path first easy question. Dont think too hard about it, the rest are protocols. next question

OSPF is a protocol too. All 4 of these are routing protocols. And also based on your reasoning would instantly cancel out OSPF. RIP uses hop counts for it's metric OSPF uses cost for it's metric EIGRP uses vectors (which is a combination of a few things) for it's metric BGP is the only routing protocol I could see that actively uses the word attribute to determine it's routing. B: BGP is the correct answer

Changing answer to BGP just bc other online answers say the same thing. I honest to god dont completely understand what "attributes" are but that's the reason

Carlos_NatyOption: C

OSPF for sure. Not debatable
