Line 11:
#The new routing table is then communicated to all neighbors of this router. This way the routing information will spread and eventually all routers know the routing path to each network, which router it shall use to reach this network, and to which router it shall route next.

Distance-vector routing protocols are simple and efficient in small networks. However, they do not scale well, and have poor convergence properties, which has led to the development of more complex but more efficient [[link-state routing protocol]]s for use in large networks.
