RIP Protocol || Routing Information Protocol in Networking

In 1981, the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) was first developed as GWINFO in the Xerox Network Systems (XNS) protocol suite for the Xerox PARC Universal Protocol. RIP, which was first described in RFC 1058 in 1988, has a reputation for being simple to set up and use on small networks.

It is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) designed to distribute routing information within an Autonomous System (AS). RIP Protocol is an integral part of PyNet Labs’ CCNA Training.
