Answer

 With OSPF, a router periodically broadcasts routing information to all other routers in the AS, not just to its neighboring routers. This routing information sent by a router  has one entry for each of the router’s neighbors; the entry  gives the distance from the router to the neighbor. A RIP advertisement sent by a router contains information about all the networks in the AS, although this information is only sent to its neighboring routers.
