- Using only RIP may not give you all of the information you want. You can
- certainly send a RIP Request to a remote machine. But, the only information RIP
- will send back is a list of destinations for which that machine has routes, and
- the associated metrics. For example, it will not tell you what gateway the
- remote machine uses to reach the destination. Nor will you get any of the
- other information which netstat provides.
