| Summary

RIP is still used despite the emergence of more sophisticated routing protocols. RIP is mature, stable, widely supported, and easy to configure. Although RIP v2 presents some decided improvements over RIP v1, it is still limited to a maximum of 15 hops to small internetworks. Design strategies such as VLSM have become very powerful tools for controlling protocols. The following modules examine three protocols and their design strategies that can be used in large internetworks:

- Module 5, EIGRP
- Module 6, OSPF
- Module 7, IS-IS
