RIP

See “Routing Information Protocol” on page 21.

router

A device that forwards data between networks. An IP router forwards data based on IP source and destination addresses.

Routing Information Protocol

RIP is the routing protocol used by the routed process on Berkeley-derived UNIX systems. Many networks use RIP; it works well for small, isolated, and topologically simple networks.

RIPng

Routing Information Protocol, new generation.

RMON

Short for remote monitoring, a network management protocol that allows network information to be gathered at a single workstation. Whereas SNMP gathers network data from a single type of Management Information Base (MIB), RMON 1 defines nine additional MIBs that provide a much richer set of data about network usage. For RMON to work, network devices, such as hubs and switches, must be designed to support it. The newest version of RMON, RMON 2, provides data about traffic at the network layer in addition to the physical layer. This allows administrators to analyze traffic by protocol.

RPU

Remote Power Unit.

RSVP

See “Resource Reservation Setup Protocol” on page 20.

RTOS

See “Real-Time Operating System” on page 20.

S

SDL

Synchronous Data Link.

Simple Network Management Protocol

SNMP is the protocol governing network management and the monitoring of network devices and their functions. It is not necessarily limited to TCP/IP networks. The versions have the following differences:

SNMPv1 (full): Security is based on community strings.
