what is hop count?

Answer Posted / ravikiran

hop count refers to the intermediate devices (like routers) through which data must pass between source and destination, rather than flowing directly over a single wire.Each router along the data path constitutes a hop, as the data is moved from one Layer-3 network to another. Hop count is therefore a basic measurement of distance in a network.
