To enable interpacket delay for RIP updates, where the delay is in milliseconds between packets in a multiple-packet RIP update, use the command output-delay in RIP Router Configuration Mode. This interpacket delay feature helps in preventing the routing table from losing information due to flow of RIP update from a high speed router to la ow speed router. The no form of the command disables interpacket delay for RIP updates.
