When a packet switch receives a distance-vector message from a neighbor, will the switch’s forwarding table always change? Explain.

What will be an ideal response?

Forwarding table will change only when newly advertised values are better (shorter) than
existing routes. So forwarding table for router may remain stable as long as no changes in the
network topology and no changes cost to reach them.
