RIP VERSIONV1 can be seen to exclude subnet information from routing updates, this is because ripv1 is a classful routing protocol and does not support VSLM, this was corrected in RIPv2 where ripv2 does send out subnet mask's in the form of a prefix eg /24 which is the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 or a class c address.
