How do you count the number of hops?












-1















I'm trying to connect to the GAN (Internet) and my final network node is 10.200.0.1



How do I count the number of Hops to reach this final network node? I've tried traceroute 10.200.0.1 But it only gave me a number of 30 hops max How do you find the number of hops over that?

To raise the number of max hops see the comment of Kusalananda, for example to probe for at least 40 hops



traceroute -m 40 10.200.0.1


To answer how to count the number of hops: traceroute offers (as far as I know) no option to explicitly only output the number of hops. You may use awk:



traceroute -m 40 10.200.0.1 | awk 'END{print $1}'


END rule is executed once only, after all the input is read. So print $1 will output the first column of last output, in your case the maximum hops.



EDIT 1:



You should consider traceroute uses ICMP requests. Not every hop does respond ICMP packets. The number of hops may vary significant if you use -T option (-T: use TCP SYN for probes)

    man traceroute:



       -m max_ttl, --max-hops=max_ttl
    
          Specifies  the  maximum  number of hops (max time-to-live value)
    
          traceroute will probe. The default is 30.


    Btw. 30 hops should be enough for everyone. :->
