RIPv2和RIPng都使用值1－16（表示跳数）的度量，最大跳数为15，16表示不可达，在收到路由更新时路由器会递增该度量值，但RIPng和RIPv2的处理方法有重大区别，下面通过实验进行分析；
R1、R2、R3之间运行RIPng，路由配置如下，其它配置略；
R1的路由配置：
R1(config)#int loo 0
R1(config-if)#ipv6 ripMao enable //RIPng进程Mao只起本地意义，与OSPF的进程号功能相同；接口下配置该命令后，会在全局下生成ipv6 router rip Mao
R1(config-if)#int s1/0
R1(config-if)#ipv6 rip Mao enable
R1(config-if)#int fa0/0
R1(config-if)#ipv6 rip Mao enable
R2的路由配置：
R2(config)#int loo 0
R2(config-if)#ipv6 rip Ting en
R2(config-if)#int s1/0
R2(config-if)#ipv6 rip Ting enable
R2(config-if)#int fa0/0
R2(config-if)#ipv6 rip Ting enable
R3的路由配置：
R3(config-if)#int fa1/0
R3(config-if)#ipv6 rip
R3(config-if)#ipv6 rip Hai en
R3(config-if)#int fa0/0
R3(config-if)#ipv6 rip Hai en
R3(config-if)#int loo 0
R3(config-if)#ipv6 rip Hai en
在R1与R3之间抓包分析；
抓包可知，R1在通告路由时，将2011::1/128（R1的环回接口ipv6地址）的跳数设置为1，现在R3上查看该路由的情况

现将R1和R2、R3同时配置RIP协议，配置略，看看路由器R3上的路由的度量值情况与RIPng有什么不同，在R1和R3之间进行抓包如下：
在R1和R3之间抓包可知，R1通告给R3的1.1.1.1/32路由的跳数值为1，现在R3上查看路由表情况
R3#show ip route rip

R 1.1.1.1[120/1] via 13.1.1.1, 00:00:17, FastEthernet0/0 //其跳数值还是为1，R3并没有将其跳数值递增1；
2.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets
R 2.2.2.2 [120/1] via 23.1.1.1, 00:00:01, FastEthernet1/0

R 12.1.1.0 [120/1] via 23.1.1.1, 00:00:01, FastEthernet1/0
[120/1] via 13.1.1.1,00:00:17, FastEthernet0/0
在R2上查看路由1.1.1.1/32的路由情况
R2#showip route rip //RIP路由表

R 1.1.1.1[120/2] via 23.1.1.2, 00:00:28, FastEthernet0/0
//其跳数为2
3.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets
R 3.3.3.3 [120/1] via 23.1.1.2, 00:00:28, FastEthernet0/0
13.0.0.0/30 is subnetted, 1 subnets
R 13.1.1.0 [120/1] via 23.1.1.2, 00:00:28, FastEthernet0/0
在R2和R3之间的接口抓包可知，R3将1.1.1.1/32通告给R2时，其将其度量值（跳数）加1之后，再传递给R2；
R2#show ipv6 route rip //IPv6 RIP路由表

R 2001:A:A:13::/64 [120/2]
via FE80::C803:35FF:FE30:1C, FastEthernet0/0
R 2011::1/128 [120/3]//R1的环回接口路由跳数为3
via FE80::C803:35FF:FE30:1C, FastEthernet0/0
R 2033::3/128 [120/2]
via FE80::C803:35FF:FE30:1C, FastEthernet0/0
从抓包结果可以看出来，R3将2011::1/128路由通告给路由器R2时，其度量值为2，而在R2的路由表中查看为其度量值为3，证明路由器R2将其度量值（跳数）递增1；
总结：RIPng在传递一条起源路由（本路由器产生的）至邻居路由器时，其度量值为1，邻居路由器会将路由的度量值递增1，其实起源路由器将自已纳入到目的网络的跳数之内。而RIP是在路由起源的下一跳邻居路由器传递给他的邻居路由器时，才会将该路由的度量值递增1，而不把路由起源的路由器算在达到目的网络的跳数之内。这也是RIPng与RIP的最大不同之处。
