The Routing Information Protocol enables routers to exchange routing tables.
Helpful?           0
A distance vector, as opposed to link state, routing protocol. It is an Internet standard IGP defined in STD 34, RFC 1058 (updated by RFC 1388). See also: Interior Gateway Protocol, Open Shortest Path First....

(RIP) An interior Gateway Protocol used by TCP/IP to exchange routing information on a small computing network.
Helpful?           0
A TCP/IP link-state protocol that supports the exchange of information between hosts and gateways. Broadcasts a message used to find the optimum route to a destination based on a hop count. Compare with SPF and OSPF.

Enables a router to exchange routing information with a neighboring router. See also router.
Helpful?           0
A protocol of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for exchanging routing information about Internet Protocol (IP) networks and subnets.
Helpful?           0
The protocol used by Berkeley 4BSD Unix systems to exchange routing information among a small group of computers. Implemented by the Unix program "routed", RIP is derived from an earlier protocol of the same name developed at Xerox.
Helpful?           0
A protocol, limited to a small number of machines attached to LANs, used to exchange Internet routing information across networks.
Helpful?           0
Enables a router to exchange routing information with a neighboring router. RIP is used in small and medium-sized networks. There is a version of RIP for IP and IPX networks. RIP version 2 (RIPv2) is a newer and more efficient form of RIP for IP networks.
Helpful?           0
A widely-used protocol for managing routing information within a self-contained network.
Helpful?           0
An IGP supplied with Berkeley UNIX systems. It is the most common IGP in the Internet. RIP uses hop count as a routing metric. The largest allowable hop count for RIP is 16.
Helpful?           0
An industry standard distance vector routing protocol used in small to medium sized IP and IPX internetworks.
Helpful?           0
An interior gateway protocol used with TCP/IP and NetWare.It provides routing information such as what networks are accessible and the number of hops required to reach each one.
Helpful?           0
A protocol used to exchange information between routers.
