IPRIP expands to what in Windows networking?

• A. RIP Helper Protocol
• B. RIP Listener Service
• C. RIP Processing Service
• D. RIP Information Protocol

Answer: (B)

IPRIP stands for Internet Protocol RIP, the routing protocol RIP used in Windows environments. In Windows networking, the component that handles RIP traffic is the RIP Listener Service. Its job is to listen for RIP routing updates on the network interfaces and apply those updates to the local routing table, allowing the host to participate in a RIP-based dynamic routing environment. This service is the Windows implementation point for receiving RIP information, typically as part of RRAS (Routing and Remote Access Service). The other options don’t match a real Windows component name for RIP handling—the terms “RIP Helper Protocol,” “RIP Processing Service,” and “RIP Information Protocol” aren’t the standard Windows components for this function.
