hop 1. n. [common] One file transmission in a series required to get a
file from point A to point B on a store-and-forward network. On such

can be more significant than their geographical separation. See {bang
path}. 2. v. [rare] To log in to a remote machine, esp. via rlogin or
telnet. "I'll hop over to foovax to FTP that."
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:
hop
1. <messaging> One point-to-point transmission in a series
required to get a message from point A to point B on a {store
and forward} network. On such networks (including {UUCPNET}
and {FidoNet}), an important inter-machine metric is the hop
count of the shortest path between them. This can be more
significant than their geographical separation.
Each {exclamation mark} in a {bang path} represents one hop.
2. <networking> One direct host-to-host connection forming
part of the route between two hosts in a {routed} {network}
such as the {Internet}. Some {protocols} place an upper limit
on the hop count in order to detect routing loops.
