OSPF allows a maximum hop count of 65,535 in its routing updates to prevent routing loops and ensure network stability. Beyond this limit, OSPF will consider the route unreachable.

What is the maximum number of hops in Rip V2?

The maximum hop count for Rip version 2 is 15, with 16 being unreachable. This is the same as Rip version 1.


What routing protocol has a limitation of 15 hops?

RIP RIPnetworks are limited in size to a maximum of 15 hops between any two networks. A network hop with a hop count of 16 indicates an unreachable network. The other routing protocols do not use the hop count as the metric, EIGRP uses bandwidth and delay for the metric. OSPF and IS-IS use a relative link cost, BGP uses paths, rules, and policies for the metric.

What is the maximum possible number of hops a packet can take to try to reach their destination?

A specific TTL number can indicate the maximum range for a packet. For example, zero restricts it to the same host, one to the same subnet, 32 to the same site, 64 to the same region and 128 to the same continent; 255 is unrestricted.


What utility attempts to trace the path that a packet takes through the network?

tracert (traceroute on unix-like systems) will do this. use the command tracert /? for more information on options for this command, such as the maximum number of "hops".


How does a higher nodal degree lead to smaller number of hops?

The higher the nodal the more energy spent getting height and then thus less hops.


2 How do routers use the routing table to determine the best path to a destination network?

They check the number of hops a packet passes to reach the the destination. The router then uses the route with least number of Hops.

Some substitute options for horizon hops in brewing beer include Cascade hops, Centennial hops, and Amarillo hops. These hops can provide similar flavors and aromas to horizon hops in the brewing process.
