Netopia Router PN Series - Manual (Page 141)

AppleTalk Setup 6-17
■ To override the AppleTalk maximum limit of 15 hops, select
Enable Hop-Count Reduction and toggle it to Yes. Hosts on a
local AppleTalk network will then “see” AppleTalk destinations
across the IP tunnel as being only one hop away.
AppleTalk allows a packet up to 15 hops (going through 15
AppleTalk routers) to reach its destination. Packets that must
reach destinations more than 15 hops away will not succeed,
and tunneling from one large AppleTalk network to another
could exceed that limit. In that case, hop count reduction would
make that kind of packet transmission possible.
