Link State / Distance Vector

A distance vector protocol, the path chosen would be sent directly over the ISDN serial link, which is slower than the indirect route. A Link State protocol would choose the best path because it's using a faster medium 100 Mb Ethernet. It would be better to run a Link State routing protocol, but if all the links in the network are the same speed, then a Distance Vector protocol is better.
