In a computer network, the Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP) is a protocolor method that can be used so that a computer sending data to another computer can learn the most direct route (the fewest number of hops) to the receiving computer.

When rip is used in routing protocol which metric is used to route information across the network from location to location?

A hop. :)


What is true about the metrics used by routing protocols?

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.


Which routing protocol uses hop count as the metric?

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) uses hop count as the metric. It measures the distance to a destination network based on the number of routers (hops) that a packet has to traverse to reach the destination.


What are some identifying features of routing information protocol RIP?

It uses hop count in route selection. It is a distance-vector protocol.


What is the Difference between routing table based on route and routing table based on next hop?

You actually cannot make a routing table based on next hop (alone). Next hop is the default gateway ands is always a required part of a route. A route always contains three fields: Network ID, Cost, Next hop.

What is the component of a routing table entry?

next hop address


A static route that points to the next hop IP will have what administrative distance and metric in the routing table?

For a hop to another network that is close, if you want it to be a preferred route the cost metric must be a low number. Depending on which protocol you use for routing, this number should be lower than other numbers as alternate routes.


A router that uses the RIP routing protocol has an entry for a network in the routing table It then receives an update with another entry for the same destination network but with a lower hop count?

it will append the update information to the routing table

What is routing table?

A routing table has columns for at least three types of information, Network ID, the Cost and The ID of the next Router called Next Hop.


What is the difference between Link state routing and distance vector routing through examples?

In a distance vector routing protocol, such as RIP or EIGRP, each router sends its routing table to neighboring routers. The routers don't know the topology, i.e., how other routers are interconnected. In a link state routing protocol, such as OSPF or IS-IS, routers first exchange information about connections within the network (or an area of the network), and build a topology table. Then each router uses Dijkstra's algorithm to calculate the best route to each destination.
