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. RIP routers maintain only the best route to a
destination. After updating its routing table, the router immediately begins transmitting routing
updates to inform other network routers of the change.

possible to learn the authentication key by watching RIP
packets.
