In dynamic routing, what is the result of real-time changes in network topology?

In dynamic routing, real-time changes in network topology facilitate the automatic adjustment of routes. Dynamic routing protocols, such as OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol), continually monitor the network for changes in topology, such as the addition or failure of routers and links. When a change occurs, these protocols use algorithms to recalculate the best paths for data to travel from source to destination based on the current network conditions. This allows for faster recovery and adaptability, ensuring network traffic is efficiently routed without requiring manual intervention.

Manual routing adjustments, the creation of completely new networks, or no changes occurring do not capture the essence of how dynamic routing operates. Dynamic protocols are specifically designed to mitigate disruptions by automatically recalibrating routing tables in real time to reflect the latest network topology changes.
