Problem
1. In RIP, why is the expiration timer value six times that of the periodic timer value?
2. How does the hop count limit alleviate RIP's problems?
3. Contrast and compare distance vector routing with link state routing.
4. Why do OSPF messages propagate faster than RIP messages?
5. What is the size of a RIP message that advertises only one network? What is the size of a RIP message that advertises N packets? Devise a formula that shows the relationship between the number of networks advertised and the size of a RIP message.
