Why not use RIP?

• Distance Vector algorithm
  • Listen to neighboring routes
  • Install all routes in table, lowest hop-count wins
  • Advertise all routes in table
  • Very simple
  • Very stupid
• Broadcasts everything (not scalable)
• Metric is hop-count only
• Infinity of 16 (not large enough)
• Slow convergence (routing loops)
• Poor robustness
