RIP (Routing Information Protocol) RIP is a standardized Distance Vector protocol, designed for use on smaller networks. RIP was one of the first true Distance Vector routing protocols, and is supported on a wide variety of systems. RIP adheres to the following Distance Vector characteristics: • RIP sends out periodic routing updates (every 30 seconds) • RIP sends out the full routing table every periodic update • RIP uses a form of distance as its metric (in this case, hopcount) • RIP uses the Bellman-Ford Distance Vector algorithm to determine the best “path” to a particular destination Other characteristics of RIP include: • RIP supports IP and IPX routing. • RIP utilizes UDP port 520 • RIP routes have an administrative distance of 120. • RIP has a maximum hopcount of 15 hops.
