Routing Information Protocol
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a distance vector routing protocol. Because it learns routes dynamically without
provisioning, RIP requires little overhead and is easy to implement. It remains a popular routing protocol, especially for
small networks.
Note: The C4/c CMTS does not support RIP version 1 (RIPv1). If the C4/c CMTS is connected to a router that supports only
RIPv1, problems result because the C4/c CMTS is unable to decipher the information that is communicated by a RIPv1
router. RIP supports only IPv4.
RIP version 2
RIP version 2 (RIPv2) is compatible with the C4/c CMTS. Unlike RIPv1 it supports subnet masks and Message Digest 5 (MD5)
authentication. For more information on this standard, see RFCs 2453 and 1058.
Hop Count
RIP uses a single criterion (hop count) for determining the best available route. Each route in a RIP routing table is assigned
a hop count of 1–16.
A value of 15 hops is the longest route permitted; once the hop count value reaches 16 the route is considered
unreachable.
