A network designer is implementing a new network for a company.
The designer is using all new Cisco equipment and has decided to select a hierarchical
routing protocol for the network. The designer wishes to minimize traffic from routing
updates but also needs fast routing convergence in the event of a topology change. Also,
the existing IP addressing scheme requires that the selected protocol support VLSM.
Which routing protocol should be chosen?
a. BGP
b. RIP v1
c. RIP v2
d. OSPF
