RIPv2 (Routing Information Protocol version 2) is a distance-vector routing protocol used in local and wide area networks. It employs hop count as a routing metric to determine the best path for data packets, with a maximum hop count of 15, which limits the network size it can support. RIPv2 broadcasts its routing table every 30 seconds to neighboring routers, and it uses split horizon and poison reverse to prevent routing loops. RIPv2 is considered obsolete for larger networks due to its limitations in scalability and convergence speed, and has largely been replaced by more advanced routing protocols like OSPF and EIGRP.
