term value to a user. DDNS dynamically solves this problem by allowing a DDNS
client, like a home or office network router, to periodically update a DDNS host when
its IP address changes. The DDNS host is therefore able to point a name like
“myofficerouter.ddnshost.com” to whatever the router’s current IP address actually is.
NOTE: In order to use DDNS, you will need an account with a DDNS service
provider, who will act as your DDNS host.
8.1.2 RIP
The Routing Instruction Protocol (RIP) is a distance-vector routing protocol that the
CODA-4x8x uses to exchange routing information with other routers in order not only
to enable routing across devices, but to determine the most efficient path the routed
data should take. RIP utilizes “hop count” - the number of journeys from one device to
another required to deliver data to its destination - as a metric on which to base
routing decisions.
RIP version 1 and RIP version 2 differ significantly, particularly in that version 1
broadcasts information, whereas version 2 multicasts it (and carries more data).
