Routing Information Protocol (RIP):


It is one of the oldest distance-vector routing protocols which employ the hop count as a routing metric.
RIP prevents routing loops by implementing a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path from source
to destination. The maximum number of hops allowed for RIP is 15, which limits the size of networks
that RIP can support. A hop count of 16 is considered an infinite distance and the route is considered
unreachable. RIP implements the split horizon, route poisoning and holddown mechanisms to prevent
incorrect routing information from being propagated.

OSPF (Open Shortest Path First):


OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a router protocol used to find the best path for packets as they pass
through a set of connected networks. OSPF is designated by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as
one of several Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs) -- that is, protocols aimed at traffic moving around
within a larger autonomous system network like a single enterprise's network, which may in turn be
made up of many separate local area networks linked through routers.

EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol):


Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) is an interior gateway protocol suited for many
different topologies and media. In a well designed network, EIGRP scales well and provides extremely
quick convergence times with minimal network traffic.

Lab Tasks:
