Choose two true statements that characterize Link State Routing

    Correct Answer: BC

This detailed knowledge aids in quickly converging to the optimal routing configuration shortly after a topology change, usually within several seconds. Therefore, the correct statements are that routers flood link information throughout the entire area and that the network converges quickly after a topology change.
