Which means.... nothing. RIP was designed for a time when networks
were simple. It has no multipath capabilities, it can *barely*
handle subnet masks, and it figures out when a route is dead by
letting packets loop until their TTL runs out. Also, propogation of
state loads the network in a non linear fashion and breaks down when you
have a lot of nodes. It works, but it isn't fun.
