[Xorp-hackers] RIP Updates

[Orion Hodson]

Yes, it does triggered updates and unsolicited periodic updates.  It  
is a pretty straightforward implementation of the RIPv2 RFC.  To pre- 
empt the next question, yes, it randomizes the intervals between  
triggered updates (triggered-delay and triggered-jitter in the  
command-line) and the intervals between unsolicited updates (update- 
interval and update-jitter in the command-line).

The magic words to look for in the rip directory are 'triggered' and  
'unsolicited'.  Most of the code for dealing with these updates is in  
port.{hh,cc}.  There are slides from a design talk in the docs/rip  
directory that might be helpful.

Cheers
- Orion
