3 RIP is an simplistic interior distance vector routing protocol. RIPv1 in particular is very hidious, however RIP is generally used because it's just so easy to setup and "just works".

14 !!RIP as in Routing Information Protocol.

16 One of the most basic and the least scaleable routing protocols known, however RIP is an industry standard routing protocol. RIP currently comes in 3 versions, RIPv1, RIPv2, and RIPng. RIPv1 and RIPv2 is used for dynamic IP routing with IPv4, whereas RIPng is used for dynamic routing with IPv6.

20 RIP is a distance vector router which sends updates which comprise of the __entire__ routing table every 30 seconds to each neighbor. RIPv1 broadcasts this information out of all the router interfaces which are partaking in the RIP process, whereas RIPv2 multicasts this information the same way using __224.0.0.9__.
21
22 RIPv1 does not support VLSM (Variable Length Subnet Masking) whereas RIPv2 does. RIPv1 is a ''classful'' routing protocol, which does not carry the subnet mask with it's routing updates. RIPv2 is a ''classless'' routing protocol which means the subnet mask is included and carried with each routing update.
23
24 RIPs routing metric uses hop count and does not account for available bandwidth or the propagation delay of the link. Any particular route can be advertised 15 hops, once the hop count reaches 16, the network is considered unreachable.
25
26 RIP Routing, like any other ''distance vector'' routing protocol, has the following characteristics...
27
28 *__Count to infinity__
29 *__Split horizon__
30 *__Split horizon with poison reverse__
31 *__Holddown__
32 *__Triggered updates__
33 *__Load balancing__ - ''Use with caution - prone to pin-hole congestion''
