RIPng Overview
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is an IP route exchange protocol that uses a distance vector (a
number representing a distance) to measure the cost of a given route. RIP uses a hop count as its cost
or metric.
IPv6 RIP, known as Routing Information Protocol Next Generation or RIPng , functions similarly to IPv4
RIP version 2. RIPng supports IPv6 addresses and prefixes.
In addition, some new commands that are specific to RIPng have been implemented. This chapter
describes the commands that are specific to RIPng. This section does not describe commands that
apply to both IPv4 RIP and RIPng.
RIPng maintains a Routing Information Database (RIB) , which is a local route table. The local RIB
contains the lowest-cost IPv6 routes learned from other RIP routers. In turn, RIPng attempts to add
routes from its local RIB into the main IPv6 route table.
