RIP Protocol:
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a standard for exchange of routing information among gateways and hosts. RIP is most useful as an "interior gateway protocol". In a nationwide network such as the current Internet, there are many routing protocols be used for the whole network. Rather, the network will be organized as a collection of "autonomous systems". Each autonomous system will have its own routing technology, which may well be different for different autonomous systems.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is designed to work with moderate-size networks using reasonably homogeneous technology. It is not intended for use in more complex environments.
RIP2 derives from RIP, which is an extension of the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) intended to expand the amount of useful information carried in the RIP messages and to add a measure of security. RIP2 is an UDP-based protocol.
RIP and RIP2 are for the IPv4 network while the RIPng is designed for the IPv6 network. In the document, only the details of RIP and RIP2 will be described.
