DEVELOPMENT OF RIP
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) system was developed based on research at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) and Xerox's PUP and XNS routing protocols. Its wide use was due to the implementation at the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) in a number of LANs. UCB also distributed RIP with its UNIX system.
RIP was designed for LANs yet is now used in some wide area networks—if for no other reason than the fact that it's there. That is, it was distributed as part of the Internet suite of protocols and was one of the first simple routing protocols that gained wide use in private internets.
RIP is classified as a vector-distance routing protocol. RIP routing decisions are based on the number of intermediate ...
