RIPv2

RIPv2 (Routing Information Protocol version 2) is a method used by networking devices to share information about how to reach various parts of a network. It helps routers exchange updates about available routes, ensuring data packets take the most efficient path. RIPv2 updates regularly, using a distance metric (hop count) to choose the best route, with a limit of 15 hops. It supports subnetworks and security features. This protocol is simple and suitable for small to medium networks, helping devices stay connected and communication efficient by maintaining up-to-date routing information.
