F.
Routing Information Protocol version 2 (RIPv2)

Explanation:
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Border Gateway
Protocol (BGP), and Routing Information Protocol version 2 (RIPv2) are classless routing protocols.
Intermediate-System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) is also a classless routing protocol.
The options IGRP and RIPv1 are incorrect because these are classful routing protocols.
The following are characteristics of classless routing protocols:
The subnet mask is advertised with each route by using classless routing protocols.
Flexible route summarization and supernetting (CIDR) are allowed in classless routing protocols.
Classless routing protocols support variable length subnet masks (VLSM), which allow different subnets of a
given IP network to be configured with different subnet masks.
One of the main advantages of using a classless routing protocol is its ability to minimize the effects of
discontiguous networks. When subnets of the same classful network are separated by another classful
network, the networks are called discontiguous. Examine the diagram below:

The LAN networks extending from Router A and Router B are derived from the same Class C network,192.168.1.0/24. A classful routing protocol such as RIP v1 would not be able to determine the direction to send
the packets, but since classless protocols include the subnet mask in advertisements, they would not suffer the
same problem. Whenever networks with non-default subnet masks are used, a classless routing protocol will
be required.
Below are some examples of networks that do not have default masks. You can recognize them by the fact that
they are not /8, /16, or /24.
192.168.10.0/27
10.5.6.0/22
172.68.0.0/18
All of the classless protocols discussed here are interior routing protocols with the exception of Border Gateway
Protocol (BGP), which is an external routing protocol used to connect different autonomous systems. For
example, BGP would be used to connect two OSPF autonomous systems (AS).
