RIP
4.1 Protocol Description
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a widely-used protocol for managing
router information within a self-contained network such as a corporate local
area network or an interconnected group of such LANs. RIP is classified by
the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as one of several internal
gateway protocols (Interior Gateway Protocol).
router information within a self-contained network such as a corporate local
area network or an interconnected group of such LANs. RIP is classified by
the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as one of several internal
gateway protocols (Interior Gateway Protocol).
RIP sends routing-update messages at regular intervals and when the
network topology changes. When a Router receives a routing update that
includes changes to an entry, it updates its routing table to reflect the new
route. The metric value for the path is increased by 1, and the sender is
indicated as the next hop. RIP routers maintain only the best route (the route
with the lowest metric value) to a destination. After updating its routing table,
the router immediately begins transmitting routing updates to inform other
network routers of the change. These updates are sent independently of the
regularly scheduled updates that RIP routers send. RIP uses a hop count as
a way to determine network distance.
