How do you count number of routers in a path using traceroute?

To count the number of routers in a path using traceroute, you can simply run the traceroute command followed by the destination IP address or hostname. The output will display each hop along the route, with each line representing a router. By counting the number of lines (or hops) listed before reaching the destination, you can determine the total number of routers in that path. Each hop typically includes the router's IP address and response time, making it easy to tally them up.
