RIP Version 2 Extensions
RIP version 2 includes an explicit subnet mask entry, so RIP version 2 can be used to propagate variable length subnet addresses
or CIDR classless addresses. RIP version 2 also adds an explicit next hop entry, which speeds convergence and helps prevent the
formation of routing loops.
RIP2 Message Format
The message format used with RIP2 is an extension of the RIP1 format:
RIP version 2 also adds a 16-bit route tag that is retained and sent with router updates. It can be used to identify the origin of the
route.
Because the version number in RIP2 occupies the same octet as in RIP1, both versions of the protocols can be used on a given
router simultaneously without interference.
