			===Routing Information Protocol Next Generation (RIPng)===

			RIPng is defined in RFC 2080 and is an extension of RIPv2 which includes support for IPv6. RIPng is is an interior gateway protocol (IGP) that uses the distance vector algorithm to determine best route to a destination, using the hop count as the metric, just like its predecessors (RIPv1 & RIPv2). RIPng is a dynamic routing protocol that exchanges routing information used to determine routes through a network, and has been designed exclusively for the new generation of internet protocol, IPv6. RIPng uses User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and functions via UDP port 521.


			'''RIPng Features'''

			*Support for IPv6.

			*RIPng does not need to implement authentication on packets.

			*There is no support for multiple instances of RIPng.

			*RIPv2 encodes next hop into each route entry, but RIPng requires specific encoding of the next hop for a set of route entries.

			*Hop count cannot exceed 15, like its predecessors.

			*Still restricted to a fixed metric of hop count, does not make use of additional parameters such as delay, and load, like IGRP and EIGRP.


			'''RIPng Packets'''

			RIPng packet header contains the following fields:

			*A Command field: Indicates whether packet is a request or response message. Request messages seek information for the router's routing table while response messages are sent periodically or when a request message is received. Periodic response messages are called update messages. The update messages contain the command and version fields and a set of destinations and metrics.

			*Version Number: Specifies the version of RIPng that the originating router is using.

			*Destination Prefix: 128 bit IPv6 address prefix for the destination.

			*Prefix Length: Number of significant bits in the prefix.

			*Metric: Value of the metric advertised for the address.

			*Route Tag: A route value that must be advertised and redistributed with the route. The route tag distinguishes external RIPng routes from internal RIPng routes in cases where routes must be redistributed across an Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP).
