RIP route selection Information Protocol

RIP is a standard for switching routing information between a gateway and a host. RIP is an internal gateway protocol. In a national network, such as the current Internet, there are many routing protocols used for the entire network. Each autonomous system that forms a network has its own routing selection technology. Different AS systems have different routing selection technologies. AS an internal gateway protocol or IGP (Internal Gateway Protocol), the routing protocol is applied to the AS system. The AS system has a dedicated protocol, the earliest of which is "EGP" (external Gateway Protocol). Currently, it is still used on the Internet, such a protocol is generally considered AS an internal AS route selection protocol. The main design of www.2cto.com RIP is to use similar technologies to work with a suitable network. As a result, RIP is suitable for simple Campus Networks and area networks, but not complex networks, with little change in speed. RIP 2 is a supplemental Protocol of the RIP Protocol. It is mainly used to increase the quantity of useful information loaded by RIP 2 information and increase its security performance. RIP 2 is a UDP-based protocol. In RIP2, each host sends and accepts packets from UDP port 520 through the routing selection process.
