Gigabit Multi-Homing VPN Security Router User’s Manual
Static Routing will be used. RIP is used when there is more than one router in a network, and if an
administrator doesn’t want to assign a path list one by one to all of the routers, RIP can help refresh the paths.
RIP is a very simple routing protocol, in which Distance Vector is used. Distance Vector determines
transmission distance in accordance with the number of routers, rather than based on actual session speed.
Therefore, sometimes it will select a path through the least number of routers, rather than through the fastest
routers.
