Why is RIPv2 better than RIPv1?

Why is RIPv2 better than RIPv1?

RIPv2 is a classless, distance vector routing protocol as defined in RFC 1723….Differences between RIPv1 and RIPv2 :

SR.NO	RIPv1	RIPv2
5.	It does not support for VLSM and discontinuous networks.	It supports for VLSM and discontinuous networks.
6.	It is less secure.	It is more secure.

Does RIPv2 converge faster than RIPv1?

It converges faster than RIPv1. RIPv2 is pretty much just like RIPv1. It has the same administrative distance and timers and is configured just like RIPv1.

Is RIPv1 is a hybrid protocol?

Version 1 is a distance vector protocol (RFC 1058) and Version 2 is a hybrid protocol (RFCs 1721 and 1722). RIPv1 uses local broadcasts to share routing information. Therefore, it is commonly called a hybrid protocol. RIPv2 uses multicasts instead of broadcasts.

Does RIPv1 support subnetting?

RIPv1 and IGRP are classful protocols and are incapable of carrying subnet mask information in their updates.

Why RIP is not used in Internet routing?

Since any routing update in RIP will take up great bandwidth, the resources for critical IT processes are hence limited. The hop counts of RIP are limited to 15 hops, so any router beyond that distance is considered infinity, and hence unreachable.

How does RIP differs from Igrp?

In Routing Information protocol (RIP), the maximum number of Hop is 15, because it prevents routing loops from source to destination….Difference between RIP and IGRP :

SR.NO	RIP	IGRP
5	RIP is a distance vector protocol.	IGRP is also a distance vector protocol.
6	It allow maximum hop count upto 15.	It allow maximum hop count upto 255.

How are routing updates sent in RIPv1?

RIPv1 is a Classful routing protocol. RIPv1 send routing updates periodically every 30 seconds as broadcasts using destination IP address as limited broadcast IP adddress 255.255. 255.255. Since the updates are sent using the destination IP address of limited broadcast IP adddress 255.255.
