Which of the following is considered a routing metric?

The correct answer is A. Hop count. A routing metric is a value used by routing protocols to determine the best path to a destination. Hop count - the number of routers (hops) a packet must traverse to reach its destination - is the classic routing metric used by protocols like RIP. Other common metrics include…

Explanation

A routing metric is a value used by routing protocols to determine the best path to a destination. Hop count - the number of routers (hops) a packet must traverse to reach its destination - is the classic routing metric used by protocols like RIP. Other common metrics include bandwidth, delay, and cost. QoS (Quality of Service) is a traffic prioritization mechanism, not a routing metric. Subnet size and IP addresses are addressing concepts, not path-cost values used by routing algorithms.
