Summary

Wandy RouterOS implements RIP Version 1 (RFC1058) and Version 2 (RFC 2453). RIP enables

routers in an autonomous system to exchange routing information. It always uses the best path (the

path with the fewest number of hops (i.e. routers)) available.

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.
