![enter image description here][1] I am having a big question regarding Poison reverse concept . Here from the picture The Link between A and T is broken . Now A sends a Triggered update to B and E immediately , and B , E sends the route back to the A . Here is the question , B and E will send the poison route only to A or they will send the entire database and how will be the communication between E ,D and B,C ? If the Router C sends an update to B with metric 4 then B accepts it ? [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/rmssi.png
