>From the RFC ( STD34)
The RIP protocol makes no formal distinction between networks and hosts. It
simply describes exchange of information about destinations, which may be
either networks or hosts. (Note however, that it is possible for an
implementor to choose not to support host routes. See section 3.2.)
As indicated in section 2, distance vector routing can be used to describe
routes to individual hosts or to networks. The RIP protocol allows either of
these possibilities. The destinations appearing in request and response
messages can be networks, hosts, or a special code used to indicate a
default address.

Subject: A d vertise Host routes via RIPv1 ? [7:4172]
Since the mask isn't sent along w/RIPv1 is there a way to a d vertise host
routes using RIPv1
i.e. I have set aside a range of addresses 9.1.1.1 - 9.1.1.15/32 for
loopback
interfaces on my routers. Using RIPv1 can I advertise these host routes? I
think the answer is no... Looking for confirmation. Wouldn't each router
advertise 9.0.0.0 and therfore effectively make my loopbacks unavailable?
