A hop is a specific network term for traversing a router, devices such as network bridges run at level 2 (data-link layer) thus cannot change the TTL. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hop_(networking) Cisco routers offer a lot of flexibility and you can override this, you can even propagate broadcast across networks. -- Steve-o
