These protocols are like DSR (Dynamic Source Routing), AODV (Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing algorithm) and TORA (Temporally Ordered Routing Algorithm) like more.

This paper is to compare two dynamic routing algorithms. Besides, they represent an overview of these algorithms distinguish similarities and differences between link state algorithm & distance ...

In addition to distance vector–based routing, the second basic algorithm used for routing is the link-state algorithm. Link-state protocols build routing tables based on a topology database.
