The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a distance-vector routing protocol‚ which employs the hop count as a routing metric. RIP prevents routing loops by implementing a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path from the source to a destination. The maximum number of hops allowed for RIP is 15.
