To count the hops in a traceroute, you can use the command line tool tracert. This tool will output a list of each hop along the route from your computer to the target destination. Each hop is numbered in the list, so you can easily count them. You can also use a traceroute visualizer, such as VisualRoute or WinMTR, to graphically display the traceroute with each hop numbered.
1. To count the hops in a traceroute, you first need to run a traceroute. This can be done through a command prompt on Windows or terminal on MacOS and Linux.
2. After running the traceroute, you will see a list of IP addresses that the traceroute was able to trace. The number of IP addresses listed will correspond to the number of hops. So, if there are 10 IP addresses listed, then the traceroute had 10 hops along the route.
