Cisco NX-OS supports the Equal Cost Multiple Paths (ECMP) feature with up to 16 equal-cost paths in
the RIP route table and the unicast RIB. You can configure RIP to load balance traffic across some or all
of those paths.

Virtualization Support

Cisco NX-OS supports multiple instances of the RIP protocol that runs on the same system. RIP supports
Virtual Routing and Forwarding instances (VRFs).
By default, Cisco NX-OS places you in the default VRF unless you specifically configure another VRF.
