Routing Information Protocol (RIP)

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is the oldest routing protocol for IP networks. It remains useful in homogeneous small to moderate-sized LANs where all links operate at the same speed.

This tutorial begins with thorough coverage of the Distance Vector Routing Algorithm, the basis for RIP and all other Distance Vector routing protocols. It then discusses RIP in detail and traces its evolution, comparing it to some more modern protocols. Includes numerous useful summary and comparison tables.
