I remember that you asked us in class which type of routing algorithm is used in practice and why. Distance-vector vs link-state. Nobody was able to give a convincing answer.
I think a short paragraph could be added that highlights the differences and shortcomings of distance-vector routing vs link-state routing. Namely that distance-vector converges fast in case of good news but slowly in case of bad news (count to infinity problem) but also that link-state doesn't scale well (memory and computation intensive) and that in practice an hybrid approach is used.
