We use RIP extensively on the edges of our network to build a Layer3 routed overlay between 3550/3750 switches and our 6500-based core. At $2k/list for the EMI license PER SWITCH ($4k for 3750s), it just wasn't feasible for us to use EMI just for OSPF when all we were really announcing was a loopback and a /30 connected network. We route filter and tune the RIP times down quite a bit. Meets our needs on the edges. Robert University of Wisconsin Madison On Thu, 16 Sep 2004, Stephen J. Wilcox wrote:

I am sure that there would be very few people running RIP in their networks,
Actually you'd be surprised.. its quite common as its very simple and used on a lot of low end routers in favor of more cpu/memory intensive ospf/isis. I know of a number of customers we have using RIP v1 and v2
