what command do you type in to determine the hop count destination?
- You're probably thinking of traceroute. ~ KvnG 17:53, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
This page should be linked to the TTL article, It's the same thing, pretty much. -- 79.180.13.17 ( talk) 16:12, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose - Time to live is a protocol mechanism. Hop count is a metric. ~ KvnG 17:53, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
I suggest merging Hop count into this article, since the hop count is just the number of hops. It seems pointless to have a separate article on the number of hops.-- Srleffler ( talk) 01:25, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
- This is a good suggestion, and unopposed for 6 months. Am performing the merger right away. -- Pgallert ( talk) 08:40, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
I have changed the introduction since it contradicted the picture. There are some (unreliable?) sources that refer to hop as a "jump" from one router to the next, however, more commonly the hop is either referred to as the router/gateway itself, see cisco, or as the "Jump" from one network segment/subnet to the next (as the illustration shows). I have also removed the word "bridges" since it is a L2 device is not involved with IP routing. Instead I have added L3 switches which can act like a simple router.
