that allows for contact between the Gateway and the remote network or host. The Hop Count
determines the maximum number of steps between network nodes that data packets will travel.
A node is any device on the network (such as a router or switch).

4.6.9 Dynamic Routing
Dynamic Routing allows the ADSL router to automatically adjust to physical changes in the
network. The ADSL router, using the RIP protocol, determines the network packets’ route based
on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination. The RIP protocol
regularly broadcasts routing information to other routers on the network.
The Direction determines the direction that RIP routes will be updated. Selecting In means that
the ADSL router will only incorporate received RIP information. Selecting Out means that the
ADSL router will only send out RIP information. Selecting both means that the ADSL router will
incorporate received RIP information and send out updated RIP information.
The protocol is dependent on the entire network. Most networks support RIP v1. If RIP v1 is
selected, routing data will be sent in RIP v1 format. If RIP v2 is selected, routing data will be sent
