Both uses Distance vector algorithm...... . updates the routing table for every 30 seconds. and in OSPF requires hoping reneval of routing table
OSPF and RIP are used in the network layer of the ISO model.
Could be because your routers do not support OSPF.

OSPF Export Policy [dsp]
Open standard protocols: Rip or OSPF. They are not Cisco proprietary protocols.
RIP is an Interior Gateway Protocol and the most widely accepted routing protocol. It is also known by the name of the Unix daemon program routed. RIP is straightforward: it arranges to have routers to broadcast their entire current routing database periodically OSPF is a link-state algorithm. OSPF specifies a class of messages called link-state advertisements (LSAs) that allow routers to update each other about the LAN and WAN links to which they are connected. When a change is made to the network, LSAs flow between routers. OSPF routers receive link-state updates and store them in a topology database in memory. OSPF networks as an end-station-to-router protocol. OSPF addresses all the deficiencies of RIP, without affecting connectivity to RIP based networks.
RIP messages are wrapped in a UDP package, which already has a checksum.
Rip and BGP is in Application layer Ospf is in Transport Layer
Routing protocols are used by routers (RIP, EIGRP, OSPF) Routed protocols are the actual protocols on the wire (TCP/IP)
Rip V1 is Classful routing protocol Rip V2 is Classless routing Protocol
OSPF has the following features:Fast Convergence OSPF can detect and propagate topology changes faster than RIP. Count-to-infinity does not occur with OSPF.Loop-Free Routes OSPF-calculated routes are always loop-free.Scalability With OSPF, an AS can be subdivided into contiguous groups of networks called areas. Routes within areas can be summarized to minimize route table entries. Areas can be configured with a default route summarizing all routes outside the AS or outside the area. As a result, OSPF can scale to large and very large internetworks. In contrast, RIP for IP internetworks cannot be subdivided and no route summarization is done beyond the summarizing for all subnets of a network ID.Subnet Mask Advertised with the Network OSPF was designed to advertise the subnet mask with the network. OSPF supports variable-length subnet masks (VLSM), disjointed subnets, and supernetting.Support for Authentication Information exchanges between OSPF routes can be authenticated.Support for External Routes Routes outside of the OSPF AS are advertised within the AS so that OSPF routers can calculate the least cost route to external networks.
RIP and OSpf are non-proprietary protocoleigrp is a proprietary protocol i.e it is a vendor specific
