What does RIP use to reduce convergence time in a larger network?
- It uses multicast instead of broadcast to send routing updates.
- It reduces the update timer to 15 seconds if there are more than 10 routes.
- It uses triggered updates to announce network changes if they happen in between the periodic updates.
- It uses random pings to detect if a pathway is down and therefore is preemptive on finding networks that are down.
Explanation: RIP uses triggered updates to announce network changes if they happen in between the periodic updates. This helps to reduce convergence time in a larger network by quickly informing routers about any changes in the network topology. Instead of waiting for the next periodic update, routers immediately send triggered updates to inform other routers about the changes. This allows for faster convergence and ensures that all routers have the most up-to-date information about the network
