routeTag	unsigned short	0 for RIPv1
address	L3Address	destination address
prefixLength	int	prefix length of the destination
nextHop	L3Address	next hop address; may be unspecified if the packet is received from the next hop
metric	unsigned int	metric of the route (1-15) or infinity (16) if no route to the destination
