RIP Version 2

RIP Version 2 (Routing Information Protocol v2) is a method used by computer networks to share information about how to reach different devices. It helps routers, which direct data traffic, learn about other routers and the best pathways for sending information. RIP v2 improves upon earlier versions by supporting more detailed and secure communication, including information about subnetworks (smaller divisions within networks). It updates routing information regularly, ensuring the network adapts if pathways change or new devices are added, which helps maintain efficient and reliable data delivery across the network.
