Which of the following types of information is used to calculate the Shortest Path Tree (SPT)?
The Shortest Path Tree (SPT) is calculated by Link-State routing protocols like OSPF and IS-IS using:
A complete map of the network topology.
Each router uses algorithms like Dijkstra's to compute the shortest paths to all destinations.
Option C is correct -- full network topology is used.
Option A refers to Distance Vector methods.
Option B and D are results of topology analysis but not the input used.
