AFlat network design

DDistance vector routing

✓ Correct answer: B. Hierarchical network design Answer: Hierarchical network design OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) supports hierarchical network design through the use of areas, which allows for better scalability and management. RIP (Routing Information Protocol), on the other hand, uses a flat network design and does not support hierarchical structures. Other features of OSPF include the use of Link State routing and a more complex and efficient algorithm compared to the distance-vector routing used by RIP.
