Routing Information Protocol (RIP): A distance-vector routing protocol used for smaller networks, which uses hop count as a routing metric. RIP limits the maximum number of hops to 15, beyond which the network is considered unreachable, and updates routing tables periodically, trading off between network load and routing accuracy.
