Routing Protocols
Protocol-Independent Multicast – Dense Mode
There are two protocols in Protocol Independent
Multicast (PIM), Protocol Independent Multicast-
Dense Mode (PIM-DM) which is used when the
multicast destinations are closely spaced, and
Protocol Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode (PIM-
SM) which is used when the multicast destinations
are spaced further apart. PIM-DM is most commonly
implemented in an intranetwork (LAN) where the
distance between users is minimal.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
The Routing Information Protocol is a distance-vector routing
protocol. There are two types of network devices running
RIP – active and passive. Active devices advertise their
routes to others through RIP messages, while passive
devices listen to these messages. Both active and passive
routers update their routing tables based upon RIP
messages that active routers exchange. Only routers can
run RIP in the active mode.
Every 30 seconds, a router running RIP broadcasts a routing
update containing a set of pairs of network addresses and a
distance (represented by the number of hops or routers
between the advertising router and the remote network). So,
the vector is the network address and the distance is
measured by the number of routers between the local router
and the remote network.
RIP measures distance by an integer count of the number of
hops from one network to another. A router is one hop from
a directly connected network, two hops from a network that
can be reached through a router, etc. The more routers
between a source and a destination, the greater the RIP
distance (or hop count).
