Routing Information Protocol
_____________________________

RIP is one of the routing protocol used
inside the network to create a routing table
which helps routers to understand the layout
of the network with changes in network
connections.

Technical details
__________________
1. RIP is a distance-vector routing protocol,
which employs the hop count as a routing

metric.
2. The maximum number of hops allowed with RIP
is 15, and the hold down time is 180 seconds
3. RIP router transmits full updates every 30
seconds by default.

stability features of RIP
______________________________
Split horizon and hold down mechanisms. These
mechanisms are using to prevent incorrect
routing information from being propagated.
