RIP Version 2

RIP Version 2  
  RFC 1723, 1994, contains extensions to RIP version 1. Most notable is the RIP message format (see Figure 5-11). The shaded entries are the additions that have been made in version 2. The route tag can be used to indicate routes that have been learned from other RIP routers or from another IGP, such as OSPF, or from an EGP, such as BGP. The subnet mask is probably the most important addition allowing designers to use VLSM with RIP V2.  
   
  Figure 5-11: RIP Version 2 Message format  
  Unfortunately, RIP V2 still suffers from the other limitations of RIP V1 as summarized in Table 5-5.  
  Table 5-5: RIP Limitations  
 
 
  Slow Convergence  
  Routing to Infinity  
  Can’t handle VLSM (V1)  
  Unable to detect routing loops  
  Only metric is hop count  
  Small network diameter (15 hops)  
  If multiple routes to a destination exist, will only use one (no load balancing)
