When you say "broadcast RIP traffic has a very negative effect", does that
mean that multicast RIP traffic does NOT have a very negative effect, or
does that mean that ANY RIP traffic has a negative effect, or does that
mean that in order for RIP traffic to not have a negative effect it should
be DIRECTED?
And may I ask by what method did you come to this conclusion?
