RIP
The Routing Information Protocol is a distance-vector routing protocol. There are two types of
network devices running RIP - active and passive. Active devices advertise their routes to others
through RIP messages, while passive devices listen to these messages. Both active and passive routers
update their routing tables based upon RIP messages that active routers exchange. Only routers can
run RIP in the active mode.
Every 30 seconds, a router running RIP broadcasts a routing update containing a set of pairs of
network addresses and a distance (represented by the number of hops or routers between the
advertising router and the remote network). So, the vector is the network address and the distance is
measured by the number of routers between the local router and the remote network.
