Just contact Akamai, and give them your AS #, if you are using any amount of

Comcast fiber is not that bad to work with. They will do BGP feeds
RIP should work just fine, however, there are things that need to occur
and work for RIP to work. Same thing with OSPF. So what looks like a
RIP issue can actually be a multi-cast issue, or some other
configuration issue that may go unnoticed. Something could change, etc.
So that's the issue
RIP is a obsolete routing protocol, OSPF should be used instead. RIP
has a number of flaws and is insecure (well v2 adds passwords). RIP
does not handle loops and has a limit on the depth of routers.
