Introduction

RIP is an industry-standard distance-vector IGP (Interior Gateway Protocol) that uses routing-by-rumor logic to learn and share routes between routers on a network. The main versions of RIP are RIPv1 and RIPv2 (which use IPv4) and RIPng (which uses IPv6). RIP is easy to configure and uses less CPU than a link state routing protocol does.

As a distance-vector protocol, RIP collects information about a router’s neighbors and nearby hops, not about the entire network. Also, to send a packet from one router to another, RIP chooses the pathway of fewest hops, not of highest bandwidth, and this is one of its disadvantages. Other disadvantages include the following:

• RIP-enabled routers share their routing tables every 30 seconds, and such frequent updates can congest the network.

• RIP supports at most 15 hops and 16 routers. This limits RIP’s use to small networks.
