*Do you know what a Routing Information Protocol is?

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is one of the earliest dynamic routing protocols designed to help routers find the best path to a destination based on hop count, making it a foundational concept in network routing. While it lacks advanced features seen in modern protocols, its simplicity and straightforward behavior make it an excellent tool for understanding the basics of network communication.

Though not suitable for large-scale enterprise environments, RIP continues to be useful in smaller networks, legacy systems, and educational settings where ease of configuration and minimal resource requirements are key. Its predictable performance and long-standing compatibility with a wide range of hardware still give it relevance in the right context.

Determines routes based on hop count, with a maximum limit of 15 hops
Shares routing tables with neighboring routers every 30 seconds
Comes in three main versions: RIPv1, RIPv2, and RIPng (for IPv6 networks)
Simple to configure and supported by nearly all routing devices
Doesn’t account for bandwidth, latency, or real-time network load
