Please Whitelist This Site?
I know everyone hates ads. But please understand that I am providing premium content for free that takes hundreds of hours of time to research and write. I don't want to go to a pay-only model like some sites, but when more and more people block ads, I end up working for free. And I have a family to support, just like you. :)
If you like The TCP/IP Guide, please consider the download version. It's priced very economically and you can read all of it in a convenient format without ads.
If you want to use this site for free, I'd be grateful if you could add the site to the whitelist for Adblock. To do so, just open the Adblock menu and select "Disable on tcpipguide.com". Or go to the Tools menu and select "Adblock Plus Preferences...". Then click "Add Filter..." at the bottom, and add this string: "@@||tcpipguide.com^$document". Then just click OK.
Thanks for your understanding!
Sincerely, Charles Kozierok

TCP/IP Routing Information Protocol (RIP, RIP-2 and RIPng)
The most popular of the TCP/IP interior
routing protocols is the Routing Information Protocol (RIP).
The simplicity of the name matches the simplicity of the protocolRIP
is one of the easiest to configure and least resource-demanding of all
the routing protocols. Its popularity is due both to this simplicity
and its long history. In fact, support for RIP has been built into operating
systems for as long as TCP/IP itself has existed.
In this section I describe the characteristics
and operation of the TCP/IP Routing Information Protocol (RIP). There
are three versions of RIP: RIP versions 1 and 2 for IP version 4 and
RIPng (next generation) for IP version 6. The basic operation
of the protocol is mostly the same for all three versions, but there
are also some notable differences between them, especially in terms
of the format of messages sent.
For this reason, I have divided my
description of RIP into two subsections. In the first, I describe the
fundamental attributes of RIP and its operation in general terms for
all three versions. In the second, I take a closer look at each version,
showing the message format used for each and discussing version-specific
features as well.
