RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
RIP
has been widely accepted as the standard routing protocol
designed specifically for providing network routing based
upon distance-vector algorithms. RIP routers send broadcast
messages onto the network, which contain routing information
about the network. This information is shared among all
the RIP capable routers in the network so that each router
understands where it exists in the network, and where
its routes lead. Currently there are industry documents,
(RFCs) which describe the specifications required to implement
RIP. The Fusion RIP source code offering is a high-performance
portable software engine that implements IP forwarding
and route generation per industry standard RFCs.
