Routing Information Protocol Last modified: Monday, August 09, 2004
(n.) Abbreviated as RIP, an interior gateway protocol defined by RFC 1058 that specifies how routers exchange routing table information. With RIP, routers periodically exchange entire tables. Because this is inefficient, RIP is gradually being replaced by a newer protocol called Open Shortest Path First (OSPF).
IETF's Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Working Group Charter Describes the IETF RIP working group and includes contact and mailing list information, and links to Internet draft and Request for Comments documents. RFC 1058 Request for Comments document for the Routing Information Protocol.
