Distance Vector Routing

Distance Vector Routing is a method used by computers in a network to find the best path for sending data. Each device, called a router, keeps a list of the shortest distances to all other devices and shares this information with neighboring routers. Over time, by exchanging updates, they learn the most efficient routes. Think of it like sailors sharing maps of how far different islands are from their current position; each updates their map based on the latest info, ensuring data takes the quickest route across the network.
