Description Routers may contain a timer for each item in their routing information table, which
keeps track of elapsed time since the route was received. Every time the updating
packet containing the routing information is received, the timer is reset to zero. If RIP
route is not updated in a period of time, the system will regard the route is no longer
valid and delete it from the routing table.
