Lessee here. We took RIP V1 to Historic status a number of years ago. That 
means that all the vendors have removed it from their products, and every 
network in the world has upgraded to RIPv2, OSPF, IS-IS, or something else 
that supports CIDR. There is simply no market whatsoever for a protocol as 
problematic and deficient as RIP, right?

Remind me, what was the first routing protocol updated for IPv6?
