RIPng
RIPng, or Routing Information Protocol next generation, is a distance-vector routing protocol designed for use with IPv6. It is an updated version of the original RIP protocol, adapted to accommodate the larger address space and other features of IPv6. RIPng is primarily used in smaller, simpler networks where advanced routing features are not required.
The protocol operates by exchanging routing tables between neighboring routers. Each router maintains a table of
RIPng uses hop count as its metric, meaning the path with the fewest router hops is considered
Key features of RIPng include support for IPv6 addresses, split horizon to prevent routing loops, and poison
