Link-state routing protocols are used in computer networks to determine the best path for data packets. Examples of these protocols include OSPF and IS-IS. In link-state routing, each node creates a map of the network's connectivity and independently calculates the optimal path to each destination, resulting in each node having its own routing table. This is different from distance-vector routing protocols, where nodes share their entire routing tables with their neighbors.
