Hhmmmm.......
For distance vector, our choices are RIP, RIPv2, and IGRP, with EIGRP a
kinda
RIP uses 255.255.255.255 and 224.0.0.9 (on Cisco, anyway , if memory
serves )
RIPv2 uses the same multicast address that RIP uses.
IGRP uses 224.0.0.10, as does EIGRP ( if memory serves )
Routing protocols do not concern themselves with MAC addresses.
In general, the TTL on a routing protocol packet is set to 1. A router
receives such a packet, decrements TTL to zero, then drops the packet
because TTL is expired. Routers in general do not forward broadcasts in any
case.

Hi guys,
I read that distance vector routing protocols use the logical broadcast to
send its periodic update. What MAC address does it use then? Broadcast too?
Also, would the recipient of the periodic update send it out again because
it is a logical broadcast?
Thanks in advance.
