The IESG has approved publication of the following: o RIP Version 2 Carrying Additional Information <draft-ietf-ripv2-protocol-v2-06.txt> as a Standard. This document replaces RFC1723, currently a Draft Standard. o RIP Version 2 Protocol Applicabilty Statment <RFC1722> as an Standard. These documents are the product of the RIP Version II Working Group. The IESG contact person is Rob Coltun. Technical Summary RIP version 2 is the successor to the traditional RIP routing protocol for IP. It is a simple distance vector routing protocol. While it has many significant limitations, there are a large range of environments in which RIP is a sufficient answer. RIP version 2 brings RIP enough capabilities to cope with the base routing requirements of the modern internet. Working Group Summary The working group strongly supported this work, and there was no measurable objection. Protocol Quality This spec has been reviewed by Joel M. Halpern, former Routing Area Director, as well as Rob Coltun (current Area Director) and Scott Bradner. It is sound, and there are multiple implementations of all features.
