Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a dynamic routing protocol responsible for routing tasks in IP-based networks. Standardized by RFC 1058 in 1988, RIP is one of the earliest routing protocols based on the distance-vector algorithm. It uses "hop count" as a metric to determine the shortest path between routers. The core logic of the protocol is to prefer the path that contains the fewest number of routers (hops) to reach a destination network. In its operational principle, each router periodi
