Question

Can use some help with Computer Networking, with a focus on routing protocols. Part A: Which of these routing protocols is the oldest? (Please select from one of the four options)1. RIP2. BGP3. OSPF4. IGRPPart B: Some routing protocols determine the best route to take based on how many routers a packet must traverse to reach its destination. Which metric measures this? (Please select from one of the four options)1. Hop count2. Latency3. MTU4. Link state

Answer 1

A. RIP

B. Hop count

Step-by-step explanation:

RIP or routing information protocol is a distant vector protocol that uses the hop count as a metric to determine the best path for packet switching to the destination network address.

Hop count is a metric used in the routing packet. It evaluates the distance of the path to the destination host by the number of routers encountered in the transversal.
