Chapter 9 WAN

The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best route for 
transmission by choosing a path with the lowest "cost". RIP routing uses hop count as the 
measurement of cost, with a minimum of "1" for directly connected networks. The number 
must be between "1" and "15"; a number greater than "15" means the link is down. The 
smaller the number, the lower the "cost".
