An example of a distance vector routing protocol is Routing Information Protocol (RIP). RIP uses hop count as its primary metric for determining the best path to a destination, with a maximum limit of 15 hops. It periodically shares its routing table with neighboring routers, allowing them to update their own tables based on the received information. This protocol is simple to implement but may have slower convergence times compared to more advanced routing protocols.
