RIP Implementations
RIPv1
Original RIP implementation, limited to classful routing(obsolete)
RIPv2
Introduced support for classless routing, authentication,triggered updates, and multicast announcements (RFC 2453)
RIPng (RIP Next Generation)
Extends RIPv2 to support IPv6 routing (RFC 2080); functions very similarly to RIPv2 and is subsequently as limited
