Background
RIP is a relatively old but still commonly used interior gateway
protocol created for use in small, homogeneous networks. This is
a classical distance-vector routing protocol. RIP is documented
in RFC 1058.
RIP uses broadcast User Datagram Protocol (UDP) data packets
to exchange routing information. The metric that RIP uses to
rate value of different routes is hop count. Hop count is number
