Don't know if it makes some sense... I thought it's more informative to say 'rip' instead of 'route' in netstat and others. afaiu 'route' is there for historical reason, that was the name of the first rip daemon. 'rip' represents the name of the protocol itself, without regard to implementation name. Sorry for the noise.
