10.8 RIP

Note：
Router mentioned in this chapter refers to the traditional router or the switch running routing
protocols.
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is intended for use within the IP-based Internet. This protocol is
most useful as an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP). RIP was designed to work with moderate-size
networks using reasonably homogeneous technology. Thus it is suitable as an IGP for many
campuses and for regional networks using serial lines whose speeds do not vary widely. It is not
intended for use in more complex environments.
RIP is a distance vector routing protocol, using UDP packets for exchanging information through
port 520.
RIP uses "hop" to measure the distance to a destination. The hop count from a router to a directly
connected network is 0. The hop count from a router to a directly connected router is 1. To limit
convergence time, the range of RIP metric value is from 0 to 15. A metric value of 16 (or greater) is
considered infinite, which means the destination network is unreachable. That is why RIP is not
suitable for large-scaled networks.
RIP prevents routing loops by implementing the split horizon and poison reverse functions.
RIP routing table

An RIP router has a routing table containing routing entries of all reachable destinations, and each
routing entry contains:
Destination address: IP address of a host or a network.
