HP Routing Services -UX 11i v2 manual Comparison of RIP and Ospf Protocols, RIP Ospf

		Overview
		The gated Routing Daemon
	• HELLO is designed to work with routers called Fuzzballs. Most
	installations use RIP or OSPF instead of HELLO. The HELLO
	protocol is no longer supported on HP-UX. You can use RIP or OSPF
	instead, because they are internal routing protocols.
	Do not mix RIP and OSPF protocols within a single network, because the
NOTE
	routing information may conflict.
	Table 1-1 compares the advantages and disadvantages of the RIP and
	OSPF protocols.
