22.11. Routing Information Protocol V1

RIP1 (Routing Information Protocol Version 1) is a Distance Vector routing protocol used in Inter

Autonomous Systems.

RIP2 (Routing Information Protocol Version 2) is an enhancement of the Version 1 of the protocol.

The main differences are the use of multicast instead of broadcast, and the support of variable

length subnet mask networks since subnets are now sent inside the updates.

RIPng (RIP New Generation) is intended to allow routers to exchange information for computing

routes through an IPv6-based network. RIPng is a distance vector protocol. RIPng should be

implemented only in routers since IPv6 provides other mechanisms for router discovery.

Spanning Tree Protocol allows the use of layer 2 networks with redundant paths by creating a

covering tree on which frames will be transmitted. The newly created topology of the network

(the tree) is loop free, thus preventing problems such as broadcast storm from occurring.
