Define a routing metric, and list four routing metrics.

What will be an ideal response?


Routing tables contain criteria called a metric - a relative value that routers use when there is more than one route to another network. Metrics determine which route to use. Lower-value metrics are used first. Different routing protocols use different metrics and ways of calculating them. Metrics include: MTU, hop count, latency, bandwidth, and cost.
