RE: RIP and RIPv2, "The glue that makes the internet work"
That was last month's issue. I chuckled too. But, for a small end-point LAN, it's not bad. Consider it appropriate tech, applied in appropriate places. Even fully static routes aren't bad, on small enough networks.

Latest Linux Mag has this really nice long article about how RIP and its new version RIPv2 is the GLUE that makes the internet work.
I almost fell down on that.
Oh, wait, I do know a couple of exchange points that wanted to or are running RIP. No REALLY!!

POP quiz! What was/is the largest production network (in number of end nodes) that used/uses RIP as the IGP? What was/is the largest production network (in number of end nodes) that used/uses static routing as the IGP? ---------------------------------------------------------

i know lots of networks that use/have used AREA0 for their entire network. it would be hard for me to say which one is larger. Christian

I have worked in an enviroment with over 12,000 nodes, which used RIPv1 and class B address space. And it was a pain, the software/hardware engineers who original built that stuff didn't want to give up control.
