Explanation / Answer
1)
RIP uses lots of bandwidth as it sends periodic updates, but OSPF advertise only changes in a network.
RIP can be reached hop count of 15 routers, but OSPF can reach unlimited hop counts.
RIP is a distance vector protocol which advertises network updates periodically; in RIP, the advertisements are sent every 30 seconds, and it too triggers updates when a change in network happens. It uses hop counts to calculate the metric value, which determines the best path to reach a network. RIP supports maximum of 15 routers, and 16th hop is considered unreachable or unsharable. So, RIP can be used efficiently in small networks only.
