This document describes an extensible mechanism that allows a
RIPv2 [RIP2] speaker to advertise summarized routes to its peers
without changing the format of the RESPONSE message.
Summarized routes are carried in RESPONSE message like normal
RIPv2 routes. Summarized routes are treated as normal routes on
the receiving side. No extra provisions are required to discriminate
between summarized and normal routes.
The mechanisms described in this document is OPTIONAL and is
applicable to all RIPv2 speaking routers, with some modifications
in the routing information base and output processing for storing
and advertising summary routes. This mechanism cannot be applied to
RIPv1 [RIP1].

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
