RIP Metric:
o Each routing protocol has its own way to calculate the metric RIP uses hop counts.
o Hop count is number of routers occurring in between source & destination network.
o The path with lowest hop count is considered as the best route to reach a network.
o The path with lowest hop count is therefore, placed in the routing table by the RIP.
o If there are multiple paths with different bandwidth to the destination network.
o Then Routing Information Protocol best path calculation may become wrong.
