'This value represents the maximum number of routing hops
allowable from the executor to any other reachable node within
an area. (A hop is the logical distance over a circuit between
two adjacent nodes.) This parameter defines the point where
the executor node's Routing decision algorithm
declares another node unreachable because the length of the
shortest path between the two nodes is too long. For correct
operation, this parameter must not be less than the network
diameter. (The network diameter is the reachability distance
between the two nodes of the network having the greatest
reachability distance, where reachability distance is the
length the shortest path between a given pair of nodes.) The
MAXIMUM HOPS number is decimal in the range 1-30.'
