Programming Challenge: Routing Information Protocol

Problem Statement #

In this challenge, you will implement the routing information protocol that we just studied in the last lesson! You’re given some starter code files.

Starter Code #

For this coding challenge, we are providing you with a network simulator written in python3. The implementation of our simplified version of RIP is also required in Python. Let’s look at the starter code module by module.

topology_reader.py #

This is the entry point to our code. It takes a network topology in the form of a Python list as input and returns a list of router objects that reflect that topology. Here’s what the topology looks ...
