Both Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) are Interior Gateway Protocol, i.e., they both are used within an autonomous system. RIP is an old protocol (not used anymore) based on distance vector routing. OSPF is based Link State Routing.

RIP always uses DVR .It is old protocol used by the DVR and depend upon the metric (hop count  to prevent from infinite looping.).

Whereas OSPF is totaly depend upon LSR.
