RIP sends routing-update messages at regular intervals and when the
network topology changes. When a router receives a routing update that
includes changes to an entry, it updates its routing table to reflect the new
route. RIP routers maintain only the best route to a destination.
After updating its routing table, the router immediately begins transmitting
routing updates to inform other network routers of the change.
