I'm not sure how many of your are on the NANOG list, but there's a very
interesting thread going on about RIP vs other routing protocols. Figured some
people may want to read this.

Blake, thanks for passing this on. It appears to be split on whether they
would use RIP or not. Of course, it really depends on a number of factors
with size being one of those. My network is relatively small and I just use
RIP to keep the static routes clean. I could see updating to another
Is RIP solid? It's been around for decades, and I used it extensively in
the beginning years when I was doing everything. But it seems that we have
many problems lately and RIP is being blamed for it. It's a very easy
protocol to administer configure, not too complicated, so I can't
One of the best network engineers I've ever met, who was a owner/operator of
a fairly large, local ISP and currently owns/operates a fairly large
datacenter, helped me with some initial issues I had in our expanding
network. 3 years ago, he suggested I switch from zero routing protocol to
RIP. I
RIP should work just fine, however, there are things that need to occur
and work for RIP to work. Same thing with OSPF. So what looks like a
RIP issue can actually be a multi-cast issue, or some other
configuration issue that may go unnoticed. Something could change, etc.
So that's the issue
RIP is a obsolete routing protocol, OSPF should be used instead. RIP
has a number of flaws and is insecure (well v2 adds passwords). RIP
does not handle loops and has a limit on the depth of routers.

Agreed...there are some old routers that don't support OSPF though. Nortel
is one (or at least was).
If you have a device old enough to only support RIP, said device should be
discarded. Seriously. Get off of RIP and
loops.

Sure, if you want to have stable routing loops :))

If it's stable and works like it should ;)

Our engineer wants to get us into OSPF, which I have no experience with and
don't understand. Since I don't
