Rip — CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) Practice Questions
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a distance-vector interior gateway protocol that selects paths based solely on hop count, with a maximum of 15 hops before a destination is considered unreachable. RIPv2 added support for CIDR and authentication over the original classful version. The Network+ exam includes RIP as a foundational example of distance-vector behavior, and candidates should understand its simplicity, slow convergence, and why it has largely been replaced by OSPF in modern networks.
