NETW204 Assignment Week3

The document is a distance vector routing protocols assignment for a student named Cindí Flowers. It contains questions about RIP (Routing Information Protocol) such as what it stands for, the metric it uses, the hop count value considered infinity, its default update timer, and the differences between RIPv1 and RIPv2. The student's answers identify RIP, the hop count metric, the hop count value of 16, the 30 second update timer, and that RIPv2 supports classless routing while RIPv1 does not. The document also asks about convergence and whether RIP is a fast or slow converging protocol, with the student answering that RIP is slow.

Cind Flowers

Distance Vector Routing Protocols Question What does RIP stand for? What metric does RIP use for Path Selection? If the metric used by RIP exceeds this value for a route it is considered unreachable, effectively making this value appear to be infinity to RIP? How often does RIP send updates by default (update timer)? What are the main differences between RIPv1 and RIPv2? Answer Routing Information Protocol Hop count

1 2 3

16

Send full updates every 30 seconds

6 7

What is convergence and why is it important? Is RIP considered to be a fast or slow converging protocol?

The main difference between RIPv1 and RIPv2 is classless routing. RIPv2 incorporates the addition of the network mask in the update to allow classless routing advertisements. This is extremely important for the flexibility needed to efficiently utilize network assignments for an ever-shrinking pool of IP addresses automated mapping and integration of information technology environments available to a user
