IGRP is a proprietary distance-vector routing protocol created by Cisco to solve some of the problems associated with RIP. A larger hop-count metric allows IGRP to be used on larger networks. In fact, IGRP supports a hop count of 255, although 100 is the default if hop count is configured to be used as a metric. If, for example, IGRP is configured to use hops as a metric and 255 hops is the value configured, on the 256th hop IGRP will return an ICMP destination network unreachable message. In some situations you may actually want to reduce IGRP's hop count to speed convergence and route processing. The metric maximum-hops command allows you to set the maximum hop count for IGRP. You should set the hop count to the maximum number of routers within your network if you are going to use hops with IGRP.

Match each item with a statement below:
the most common nonroutable protocol
RIP
the most commonly used distance-vector protocol
Hop count
an example of an EGP
Hold-down timer
