Description
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is one protocol in a series of routing protocols based on
Bellman-Ford (or distance vector) algorithm. This Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) lets routers
exchange routing information across a single autonomous system in the way of periodic RIP
updates. Routers transmit their own RIP updates to neighboring networks and listen to the RIP
updates from the routers on those neighboring networks to ensure their routing table reflects the
current state of the network and all the best paths are available. Best path considered to be a path
with the fewest hop count (id est that include fewer routers).
The routes learned by RIP protocol are installed in the route list (/ip route print) with the distance
of 120.
