 | | RIP is used to convey information about routes to "destinations", which may be individual hosts, networks, or a special destination used to convey a default route. |
 | | A silent RIP might be used by hosts that do not act as gateways, but wish to listen to routing updates in order to monitor local gateways and to keep their internal routing tables up to date. |
 | | These controls are intended primarily to allow RIP to be connected to networks whose routing may be unstable or subject to errors. |
