RIPng (RIP next generation) is a distance-vector routing protocol used for IPv6 networks. It is an extension of the RIPv2 protocol for IPv4.

OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a link-state routing protocol that has been extended to support IPv6 networks. It is a popular interior gateway protocol used in large networks.

BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) has been extended to support IPv6 networks, allowing for the exchange of IPv6 routing information between autonomous systems.

PIM-SM (Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode) and DVMRP (Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol) are multicast routing protocols that have been extended to support IPv6 networks.
