Hi All,
Just for clarification let me make sure I also understand. Cisco
technology handbook states "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 enters the network in the routing table. The IP
address of the sender is used as the next hop. "
From that it seems to me that if RIP sends from R1 with a value of 10 ,
R2 places in RIB with a value of 11, and sends upstream with a value of 11.
Does that seem accurate? I misread the replies initially and it made me
want to verify my understanding of the behavior.
Thanks,
Jay Klus
