We are in the process of iplementing an OSPF backbone network connected
to a lot of rip subnets.

During implementation we have run across this interesting question:

Should rip hop counts increase per circuit ala rip or remain fixed as
you cross an OSPF backbone.  Is there any guidance on this.  I can seem
to find mention in the OSPF draft RFC on rip hop counts.

Has anyone else faced this problem.

The router we are using seems to add a rip hop count for each ospf circuit.
However you  cannot adjust that metric on the ospf circuit as you can
on a RIP circuit

thanks

bob
