Routing Information Protocol or RIP has a feature called "route poisoning" which prevents routing loops by setting the hop count to 16. This hop count makes the route unreachable. Split Horizon is another RIP feature wherein packets are prohibited to be advertised back to the interface from which it was originally received. Count to infinity is another term for a routing loop. The maximum number of hops allowed by a router running RIP is 15. A hop count of 16 is considered to be unreachable.
