ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for selecting improved routing paths in an autonomous system having at least two computer networks while retaining the benefits of Routing Information Protocol (RIP) are disclosed. Such an apparatus and method are realized by having network bridges identify and, in certain circumstances, modify RIP update messages according to information retrieved from a routing database, or table, of an associated network router. More particularly, the network bridges modify RIP messages so that they will more accurately reflect the position of the network router that broadcast the RIP message, relative to the position of the associated network router, with respect any given destination network.
