* [[Cisco IOS]], software used in Cisco routers (supports version 1, version 2 and RIPng)
* Cisco NX-OS software used in Cisco Nexus data center switches (supports RIPv2 only<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus9000/sw/6-x/unicast/configuration/guide/l3_cli_nxos/l3_rip.html|title=Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS Unicast Routing Configuration Guide, Release 6.x - Configuring RIP &#91;Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches&#93;}}</ref>)
* [[Junos]] software used in Juniper routers, switches, and firewalls (supports RIPv1 and RIPv2)
* Routing and Remote Access, a [[Windows Server 2003|Windows Server]] feature, contains RIP support
* [[Quagga (software)|Quagga]], a [[free software|free]] [[open source software]] routing suite based on [[GNU Zebra]]
* [[Bird Internet routing daemon|BIRD]], a [[free software|free]] [[open source software]] routing suite
* [[Zeroshell]], a [[free software|free]] [[open source software]] routing suite
* A RIP implementation first introduced in [[Berkeley Software Distribution#4.2BSD|4.2BSD]], routed, survives in several of its descendants, including [[FreeBSD]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=routed&sektion=8|title=routed, rdisc – network RIP and router discovery routing daemon|website=FreeBSD manual pages}}</ref> and [[NetBSD]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?routed+8+NetBSD-current|title=routed, rdisc – network RIP and router discovery routing daemon|website=NetBSD manual pages}}</ref>
* [[OpenBSD]] introduced a new implementation, ripd, in version 4.1<ref>{{cite web|url=https://man.openbsd.org/ripd.8|title=ripd – Routing Information Protocol daemon|website=OpenBSD manual pages}}</ref> and retired routed in version 4.4.
* [[Netgear]] routers commonly offer a choice of two implementations of RIPv2;<ref>{{cite web|url=http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/24088|title=How do I change the LAN TCP/IP settings on my Nighthawk router?|website=Netgear Support pages}}</ref> these are labelled RIP_2M and RIP_2B. RIP_2M is the standard RIPv2 implementation using multicasting - which requires all routers on the network to support RIPv2 and multicasting, whereas RIP_2B sends RIPv2 packets using subnet broadcasting - making it more compatible with routers that do not support multicasting, including RIPv1 routers.
* [[Huawei]] HG633 ADSL/VDSL routers support passive and active routing with RIP v1 & v2 on the LAN and WAN side.
