The Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) was created by Cisco Systems and uses five criteria to make a decision. IGRP is a distance-vector routing protocol. Routing Information Protocol uses one criterion to fine the best path between the source and destination and IGRP uses five criteria to make a "best route" decision. A network administrator can set weights on these different metrics so that the protocol works best in that specific environment.
