IPX-RIP

• Not the best possible distance vector protocol

• IPX’s RIP is similar to IP’s RIP

• Send distance vector periodically (60 sec)

• Only remember best path. Forget it if not reminded (180 sec)

• IPX-RIP has two metrics: hops, and ticks (supposedly delay, units of 1/18ths of sec):

• Best path used ticks. Hops for count-to-infinity (infinity=16)

• events: time, route reported (> = or <)
