Not the best. A route.
Actually, they're supposed to find the lowest cost route, according to the selected metrics. RIP is limited in this respect, in that it only looks at hop count. So, if one route is 1 hop and another is 2 hops, it will choose the 1 hop as "best". However, this only works properly with equal bandwidth hops. If the 1 hop link is 10 Mb and the 2 hop, 1 Gb, then the wrong route gets picked. OSPF and EIGRP look at other factors such as bandwidth, delay, link state etc. to determine what is actually the best choice.. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
