The metriC assigneD to eaCh network DepenDs on the type of protoCol.Some simple protoCol, like RIP, treats eaCh network as equals.The (71) of passing through eaCh network is the same;it is one (72) Count.So if a paCket passes through 10 network to reaCh the Destination, the total Cost is 10 hop Counts.Other protoCols, suCh as OSPF, allow the aDministrator to assign a Cost for passing through a network BaseD on the type of serviCe requireD.A (73) through a network Can have Different Costs(metriCs).For example, if maximum (74) is the DesireD type of serviCe, a satellite link has a lower metriC than a fiBer-optiC line.On the other hanD, if minimum (75) is the DesireD type of serviCe, a fiBer-optiC line has a lower metriC than a satellite line.OSPF allow eaCh router to have several routing taBle BaseD on the requireD type of serviCe.（71）
