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 ...
It is Core-Based Tree, selecting one router in the network as the root and transmitting information through the root router. Maximum delay in the tree is longer than SBT(Source-based tree), The core router manages all the information, and the remaining routers manage the direction of the core and the multicast information requested by the current neighboring router. it has a Good Scalability ...
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.
A routing protocol specifies how routers communicate with each other to distribute information that enables them to select paths between nodes on a computer network. Routers perform the traffic directing functions on the Internet; data packets are forwarded through the networks of the internet from router to router until they reach their ...
An interior gateway protocol (IGP) or interior routing protocol is a type of routing protocol used for exchanging routing table information between gateways (commonly routers) within an autonomous system (for example, a system of corporate local area networks). [1] This routing information can then be used to route network-layer protocols like IP.
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.

This contrasts with distance-vector routing protocols, which work by having each node share its routing table with its neighbors, in a link-state protocol, the only information passed between nodes is connectivity related. [7] Link-state algorithms are sometimes characterized informally as each router "telling the world about its neighbors." [8]
An overlay network is a computer network that is layered on top of another (logical as opposed to physical) network. The concept of overlay networking is distinct from the traditional model of OSI layered networks, and almost always assumes that the underlay network is an IP network of some kind.
