RIP was developed in the 1970s at Xerox Labs as part of the XNS +routing protocol. RIP is a distance-vector protocol and is based on the +Bellman-Ford algorithms. As a distance-vector protocol, RIP router send updates +to its neighbors periodically, thus allowing the convergence to a known +topology. In each update, the distance to any given network will be broadcast +to its neighboring router. + +Supported versions of RIP are: +* RIPv1 as described in :rfc:`1058` +* RIPv2 as described in :rfc:`2453` Simple RIP configuration using 2 nodes and redistributing connected interfaces. |
