RIP Version 1 (RIP-1) Message Format (Page 3 of 3) RIP-1 Version-Specific Features Since RIP version 1 was the first version of the protocol, its features formed the basis for future RIP versions; it doesn't really have any version-specific features. What RIP-1 has is a number of limitations, such as a lack of support for specifying classless addresses and no means for authentication. RIP version 2 was created to address some of RIP-1 shortcomings. As we will see in the next topic, RIP-2's features put to good use those Must Be Zero bytes in the RIP-1 format.
