RIP version 1 and IGRP are classful protocols and do not promote subnet mask information. RIP version 2 has a restricted network diameter of 15 hops. OSPF, EIGRP, and IS-IS use computational intensive algorithms for finding a shortest path. BGP relies on simple methods for best path selection and loop detection, and can handle numerous network prefixes needed for Internet routing.
