RIP timers

[Just Kennie]

Does rip times on RIP/RIP 2, peers have to be same to work?

Hello Kennie,

yes but in a broader sense:

update frequency has to be less then other side timeout.

The recommended rule is to to have a 1:3 ratio between the two timers to avoid frequent flapping

hope to help
