Routing Information Protocol (RIP)

The Routing Information Protocol is a distance-vector routing protocol. There are two types of network devices
running RIP – active and passive. Active devices advertise their routes to others through RIP messages, while
passive devices listen to these messages. Both active and passive routers update their routing tables based upon
RIP messages that active routers exchange. Only routers can run RIP in the active mode.
Every 30 seconds, a router running RIP broadcasts a routing update containing a set of pairs of network
addresses and a distance (represented by the number of hops or routers between the advertising router and the
remote network). So, the vector is the network address and the distance is measured by the number of routers
between the local router and the remote network.
RIP measures distance by an integer count of the number of hops from one network to another. A router is one
hop from a directly connected network, two hops from a network that can be reached through a router, etc. The
more routers between a source and a destination, the greater the RIP distance (or hop count).
There are a few rules to the routing table update process that help to improve performance and stability. A router
will not replace a route with a newly learned one if the new route has the same hop count (sometimes referred to
as 'cost'). So learned routes are retained until a new route with a lower hop count is learned.
When learned routes are entered into the routing table, a timer is started. This timer is restarted every time this
route is advertised. If the route is not advertised for a period of time (usually 180 seconds), the route is removed
from the routing table.
