"Hops" are usually displayed when doing a traceroute to find out the path from one location on the internet to the other. Each "hop" is the next Internet node or connection on the way from point A to point B. Below is an example:
traceroute to www.Yahoo.com (98.139.183.24), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

Each "hop" is indicated with a number before it. From my server on the Internet in Chicago to where www.yahoo.com is located was 10 hops total. If you are using Windows, you can see this for yourself by opening command prompt, and typing:
"tracert www.yahoo.com" - WITHOUT THE QUOTES!
I hope this helps you. If you need further understanding, let me know!

What pieces of information are contained in a routing table entry?
The metric value of the route The address of the logical destination network The type of learning method involved
What information does the next hop entry in a routing table identify?
The first router in the path to the destination network. The next hop router is the first (or next) router in the path to the destination network. Each router looks at the destination network in the packet, then consults the routing table to identify the next hop router to the destination network. The hop count identifies the numbers of routers in the path to the destination network. A default gateway router is a router that is used for packets used to external networks. Most routers do not have a default gateway setting, but instead use a default route setting which identifies the next hop router for all unknown networks.
