A hop. :)
The routing protocol also specifies how routers in a network share information with each other and report changes. The routing protocol enables a network to make dynamic adjustments to its conditions, so routing decisions do not have to be predetermined and static.

Perhaps you mean the "passive-interface" command in Cisco routers; what this does is that no information related to the routing protocol will be sent through the specified interface. For example, the interface that connects your network to the ISP should not carry any routing protocol information, since the routing protocol is only useful within your company's network.

Flat routing protocol is a network communication protocol implemented by routers in which all routers are each other's peers. Flat routing protocol distributes routing information to routers that are connected to each other without any organization or segmentation structure between them. Flat routing protocols are primarily those that don't work under a predefined network layout and perimeter. They enable the delivery of packets among routers through any available path without considering network hierarchy, distribution and composition. Flat routing protocol is implemented in flat networks where each router node routinely collects and distributes routing information with its neighboring routers. The entire participating node addressed by flat routing protocol performs an equal role in the overall routing mechanism. Routing Information Protocol, Interior Gateway Routing Protocol and Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol are popular examples of flat routing protocols.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
RIP stands for routing information protocol. It is an intra domain routing protocol.
RIP is a routing protocol - a protocol (set of rules) that allows a router to exchange information, with other routers, about existing routes.
Distance vector protocols are routing protocols that use the distance and direction to a destination network to make routing decisions. Examples include RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol). These protocols share routing information with neighboring routers and update their routing tables based on the information received.
it will append the update information to the routing table

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) are two very popular Distance Vector routing protocols
