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

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a routing protocol classified under the Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) family and used in TCP/IP-based networks. Defined by RFC 2328, its open standard structure allows it to be widely implemented in multi-vendor network environments. OSPF is based on a link-state algorithm and ensures that each router obtains a consistent view of the entire network topology through systematic sharing of link-state information among routers. Based on this topology map, the SPF
