hop_limit Property

The maximum number of hops to allow for a trace.

Syntax

def get_hop_limit() -> int: ...
def set_hop_limit(value: int) -> None: ...

hop_limit = property(get_hop_limit, set_hop_limit)

Default Value

64

Remarks

This property is used to limit lengthy traces. A value of 0 indicates an unbounded trace.

Note: if the value of timeout is 0, an unbounded trace may cause a call to trace_to to block indefinitely. To cancel such a route trace, call interrupt.
