The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a dynamic routing protocol used in local and wide
area networks. The routing information packet will be sent out by web server or router
periodically, and can be used to communicate with other routers. It will calculate the number
of network nodes on the route to ensure there is no obstruction on the network routine. In
addition, it will choose a correct route based on the method of Distance Vector Routing and
use the Bellman-Ford algorithm to calculate the routing table.
Vigor router will exchange routing information with neighboring routers using the RIP
(Routing Information Protocol) to accomplish IP routing. This allows users to change the
information of the router such as IP address and the routers will automatically inform for each
other.
