Link-state routing uses link-state advertisements (LSA), a topological database, the SPF algorithm, the resulting SPF tree, and, finally, a routing table of paths and ports to each network.

You can see above how "the XL algorithm developed by computer scientists at UC San Diego significantly outperforms standard link-state and distance-vector algorithms, speeding routing in computer ...

In this paper, the authors survey the public presentation between two adaptive routing algorithms: Link State Algorithm (LSA), which is centralized algorithm and Distance Vector Algorithm (DVA ...

Called XL, for approximate link state, the algorithm increases network routing efficiency by suppressing updates from parts of the system – updates which force connected networks to continuously ...

A complex routing protocol that shares information with other routers in order to determine the best path. IS-IS was the first comprehensive link state protocol, and OSPF and NLSP evolved from it ...

A newly-developed algorithm for computer network routing could significantly boost the efficiency of networks that share ever-changing Internet resources.
