Hi all,
   I kind of get confused as to what the RIB [routing information base is]
.... I read some material and it is implied that the RIB is the routing
table while sometimes, I understand it to be the repository from which
routers are selected and put into the routing table [like BGP table, OSPF &
EIGRP topology tables]. Please can someone explain this to me? thanks
