Question

Consider Dijkstra's link-state routing algorithm that is computing a least-cost path from node a to other nodes b, c, d, e, f.  Which of the following statements is true.  (Refer to Section 5.2 in the text for notation.)

Accepted Answer

The values computed in the vector D(v), the currently known least cost of a path from a to any node v, will always decrease following an iteration.

Accepted Answer

The values computed in the vector D(v), the currently known least cost of a path from a to any node v, will never increase following an iteration.

Accepted Answer

In the initialization step, the initial cost from a to each of these destinations is initialized to either the cost of a link directly connecting a to a direct neighbor, or infinity otherwise.

Accepted Answer

Suppose nodes b, c, and d are in the set N'.  These nodes will remain in N' for the rest of the algorithm, since the least-cost paths from a to b, c, and d are known.

Answer

Following the initialization step, if nodes b and c are directly connected to a, then the least cost path to b and c will never change from this initial cost.
