RIP Routing Metric
RIP uses a single routing metric (hop count) to measure the distance between the source
and a destination network. Each hop in a path from source to destination is assigned a hop
count value, which is typically 1. When a router receives a routing update that contains a
new or changed destination network entry, the router adds 1 to the metric value indicated in
the update and en
ters the network in the routing table. The IP address of the sender is used
as the next hop
