RIPng (RIP next generation) is an extension of RIPv2 for support of IPv6, the next generation Internet Protocol. [12] The main differences between RIPv2 and RIPng are: Support of IPv6 networking. While RIPv2 supports RIPv1 updates authentication, RIPng does not. IPv6 routers were, at the time, supposed to use IPsec for authentication. [citation ...
The oldest routing protocol, and the oldest distance-vector protocol, is version 1 of the Routing Information Protocol (RIPv1). RIPv1 was formally standardised in 1988. [2] It establishes the shortest path across a network purely on the basis of the hops, that is numbers of routers that need to be passed to reach the destination network.
These tables are created using information exchanged between the EIGRP routers. The information is different than that exchanged by link-state routing protocols . In EIGRP, the information exchanged includes the routes, the " metric " or cost of each route, and the information required to form a neighbor relationship (such as AS number, timers ...
Route poisoning is a method to prevent a router from sending packets through a route that has become invalid within computer networks. Distance-vector routing protocols in computer networks use route poisoning to indicate to other routers that a route is no longer reachable and should not be considered from their routing tables.
Interior gateway protocols type 2, distance-vector routing protocols, such as Routing Information Protocol, RIPv2, IGRP. Exterior gateway protocols are routing protocols used on the Internet for exchanging routing information between Autonomous Systems, such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), a path-vector routing protocol.
The complete set produces the graph for the map of the network. The link-state message giving information about the neighbors is recomputed and then flooded throughout the network whenever there is a change in the connectivity between the node and its neighbors, e.g., when a link fails.
Stating that RIP uses a hop count of 15 in the summary, while correct for RIPv1, it is not correct for today's use. The majority of RIP users will be using the latest version in the devices they purchase.

In order to address the issues of address space and other factors, Cisco created EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol). EIGRP adds support for VLSM (variable length subnet mask) and adds the Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL) in order to improve routing and provide a loopless environment.
