[edit] ARPANET
I didn't add the mention of the ARPANET, merely corrected] the erroneous reference that was already there, from "RIP was first developed in 1969 as part of ARPANET" to "The algorithm used in RIP, the Bellman-Ford algorithm, was first deployed in 1969 as part of the ARPANET."

Could a list of entry level Products which support RIP be added, so others can learn by 'doing'?
[edit] "above the network layer" ???
<SSPecteR> I really didn't liked this phrase: "It runs above the network layer of the Internet protocol suite, using UDP port 520 to carry its data." Isn't it from the network layer? What does it mean as "above"? application layer? Heaven? Please, someone specify it. ♠ Saturday, 2006-06-10, 06:23 (UTC)
[edit] convergence time
I dont see why one says that convergence time is bad in RIP As long as prefixes are not "withdrawn", RIP works just as well as say BGP. The metric /hops is a good discriminator to choose the correct path. the older versions of RIP had something similar to Origin identifier at a time, which was used to cut out loops —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.227.114.98 (talk) 09:24, 11 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] RIP-2B / RIP-2M
my router has these two options but the instruction manual is not that detailed. does anyone know what are the differences? it should be mentionned in the article too. Louis R14 18:16, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] question
is it useful to deactivate RIP function in a single router network? Louis R14 18:18, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
