Nope, rip does not talk BGP and rip is not inteligent enough. Bisides that
rip is out dated and has many faults. The only 2 that remain are ospf or BGP
and in the Discussion we last had BGP was chosen by all if i'm correct.

True, if U're using public ASNs.

But then, if U're using BGP and the link went down wouldn't the route
be withdrawn from the RIB? And if so, wouldn't the packets destined to
that subnet end up going  down the default route? Just a thought.
