RIP 98 is perhaps a better choice for an RF Environment.
RIP-2 transmits (lengthy) routing information in Broadcasts, whilst RIP 98
is based on Host to Host. Works over a slip link too, and doesn't play
havoc with routing tables under 'lift' conditions.
There is a doc on the TN*S implementation with some background info at:
http://www.rat.org.uk/amrad/rip98v.htm
I did do some work on Linux's RIP 98 daemon a while ago, introducing split
horizon and poison reverse. I've forgotten who the maintainer is (is it
David 'PIT ??) - please can someone remind me !
