    RAP Protocol Route Access Protocol

    RAP is a routing protocol that uses port 38 to distribute routing information across internet layers. It allows routing information to be shared from ISP systems to devices with internet connectivity. RAP specifies how routers communicate routing information to select the best paths between any nodes in a network. It works by sharing initial routing information between neighboring routers, which is then propagated throughout the entire network.

    RAP Protocol = Route Access Protocol

    RAP is a protocol that utilizes port 38 and is used for distributing routing information at all levels
    (Surface, Deep, Dark) of the Internet.

    RAP is further defined in RFC 1476


    ===========

    A routing protocol specifies how routers communicate with each other, distributing information that
    enables them to select routes between any two nodes on a computer network. Routing algorithms
    determine the specific choice of route. Each router has a priori knowledge only of networks attached to
    it directly. A routing protocol shares this information first among immediate neighbors, and then
    throughout the network. This way, routers gain knowledge of the topology of the network.
    ===========

     RAP is an open distance vector routing protocol that allows the routing information of devices
    used in computer networks to be distributed from Internet Service Provider (ISP) systems to LAN
    and WAN environments with devices with Internet connectivity.
     The routing protocol specifies how routers should communicate with each other, and its main
    task is to help them choose the best routes between any nodes in a computer network.
     Routing algorithms work by choosing a specific route. Since each router only has prior
    knowledge of the networks directly connected to it, a routing algorithm is not used in this case.
     In short, a routing protocol shares that information first between close neighbors and then
    across the network to determine the best route between networks. In this way, Routers analyze
    the entire topology of the network and add it to the table.
     The Route Access Protocol was presented for the first time in 1993 by R. Ullman as an RFC
    document. The purpose of this protocol is a generalized protocol, unlike others, between
    external and internal networks.
     Therefore, it is designed to work in both small and large systems.
     Distance vector routing was chosen for RAP for scalability and efficiency, and it runs on TCP 38
    via an asymmetric connection between ports. Also, UDP can work on port 38.
     Hosts in the CN can listen for RAP packets with UDP port to discover gateway devices on the
    local network.
     RAP spreads the routes of the network diagrams in the opposite direction through the
    respective routes. In addition, it can restrict resources to provide a certain security measure and
    add them to the respective routes if security filters are created in the IP routing layer.
     When a connection between local or remote networks is established, RAP only sends new or
    changed routing information. This routing information is deleted by the system every time the
    session ends.
     When the connection between devices is lost, each device clears all the paths offered by the
    neighboring device.
