Hello list,
Could someone point me to info where i can find the differences between
RIP and RSPF and how it cooperates with eachother?
Thank you,

Argh! All right, so how am I supposed to work with Linux when
everything's already been done?! Can't these people leave some
broken MSDOS like parts so there's problems left to solve!?....

RIP is an ancient protocol designed for simple Ethernet-only networks. It
uses the Bellman-Ford Distance Vector algorithm to find the minimum number
of hops. It is inflexible, has no notion of variable-length subnets
(except in RIP2), and doesn't adapt well to slow networks. It does however
have a useful subset mode by which routers can broadcast their presence to
hosts on the same LAN. It's widely implemented.
RSPF is designed from the ground up for radio use. It uses the Dijkstra
SPF link-state algorithm. It has no notion of "subnets" but instead uses
"node groups" of arbitrary bitmask width, and allows routing within node
groups as well as to them, and support for limited "out-of-area" roamers.
It has no "client" mode, but allows a non-RSPF client to pick a router it
can hear, and allows routers to broadast their availability with plaintext
in the message (to allow AX.25 snooping). A primitive implementation is
available in NOS, but the current version (2.2) is only available in Linux
(rspfd), for AX.25 links.
They don't have any interoperability right now.
