Rip loop prevention methods 4(Route poisoning)

Route poisoning
Route poisoning is another method for preventing routing loops employed by distance vector routing protocols. When a router detects that one of its directly connected routes has failed, it sends the advertisment for that route with an infinite metric ("poisoning the route"). A router that receives the update knows that the route has failed and doesn't use it anymore.
