administrative distance and metrics
Metrics used by routing protocols are used to determine the best path for routing data packets. Different routing protocols use various metrics such as hop count, bandwidth, delay, load, and cost to make routing decisions. The choice of metric can impact the efficiency and effectiveness of the routing protocol in selecting optimal paths.
Delay and bandwidth
Hop Count refers to the number of intermediary devices that data packets must pass through to reach their destination. It is commonly used in routing algorithms to determine the shortest path between source and destination nodes. Metrics, on the other hand, are quantitative measures used to evaluate network performance, such as latency, throughput, or packet loss. Hop Count can be a metric in itself, as it gives an indication of network efficiency and can impact overall performance.
The bandwidth and delay interface variables are used to determine the metric in EIGRP. These values are used in the calculation of the composite metric that EIGRP uses to determine the best path to a destination.
1) I learned that you can have as many variables as you want. 2) You can change the variables. 3) Variables is used in an experiment. 4) A variable is something that can be changed, such as a characteristic or value. Variables are generally used in Psychology experiments to determine if changes to one thing result in changes to another.
The root cost represents the cumulative cost of reaching a destination in a network, based on the metrics assigned to the paths leading to that destination. It is typically used in routing protocols like OSPF and EIGRP to determine the best path to reach a specific network based on the lowest accumulated cost.
You can find your routing number by looking at your checks or contacting your bank. It is a nine-digit number that identifies your bank and is used for electronic transfers and direct deposits.
Destination network addresses: These indicate the network destinations that packets need to reach. Next hop addresses: These show the next router or gateway that packets should be forwarded to in order to reach the destination network. Routing metrics: These are used to determine the best path for forwarding packets, taking into account factors like hop count, bandwidth, and latency.

Hop count & administrative distance. This is a measure used by the routing protocol to calculate the best path to a given destination, if it learns multiple paths to the same destination. Each routing protocol uses a different metric.
RIP is used in dynamic routing.
