A network router's routing table update process treats IP address blocks as topological spaces. Which outcome results when a discontinuous change occurs in the available routes?

💡 Explanation

Because a discontinuous change in available routes violates the assumptions of continuous function mappings in routing protocols, the route propagation algorithm cannot adapt smoothly, resulting in routing instability. Therefore, routing loops are formed, rather than congestion control or fragmentation optimization, due to convergence failures.
