Explain the concept of RIP protocol.Routing Information Protocol is widely used protocol for the purpose of managing router information within a self containing network such as LAN. A gateway host with a router sends the entire routing table to its closest neighbor host every 30 seconds using RIP. The information will be passed by the neighbor host on to its next neighbor and so on. This process continues until all hosts of the network have the same knowledge of the routing paths, called as network convergence. The network distance is determined by using a ‘hop’ count. For routing a packet to the next host for a specified destination, routing table information is used.
