8.3 TCP/IP Priority (Metric)
8.3 TCP/IP Priority (Metric)
The metric represents the “cost of transmission”. A router determines the best route for
transmission by choosing a path with the lowest “cost”. RIP routing uses hop count as the
measurement of cost, with a minimum of “ 1” for directly connected networks. The number
must be between “ 1” and “ 15”; a number greater than “15” means the link is down. The
smaller the number, the lower the “cost”.
The metric sets the priority for the WR1500 Wireless Router’s routes to the Internet, if any
two of the default routes have the same metric.
