What is Understanding Counting to Infinity in Routing about?

Routing loops occur when invalid routing information causes packets to continuously circulate the network. This is known as "counting to infinity." Distance vector routing protocols address this by defining a maximum metric or hop count. When the hop count exceeds the maximum, typically 15 or 16, the route is marked as unreachable or "infinity." This prevents endless looping by limiting how long invalid routes can be counted.
