	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 networks
    (including the old UUCP network and and FidoNet), an important
    inter-machine metric is the number of hops in the shortest path between
    them, which 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.?

	

	hop

   1.  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.  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.

   3.  To log in to a remote computer,
   especially via rlogin or telnet.  "I'll hop over to foovax
   to FTP that."
