I am not a routing protocol expert but I can say that RIP and OSPF have dif=
ferent benefits and drawbacks.  OSPF is more complicated but does offer a l=
ot more features like link state, cost, VLSM, quick convergence, etc. Howev=
er, it is CPU intensive and takes a lot of resources.  RIP on the other han=
d is simpler but limited to 15 hops, based on hop counts whether they are T=
1s or 56kbps links.
