pseudo hop countsearch for term

The number of hops that the primary server adds to the true hop count (the number of internal and external bridges and routers between a client and the server) when it advertises the route to the SFT III MSEngine.
If SFT III servers reside on different network segments, the hop count for one server is higher than the other. To ensure that packets are rerouted properly to the surviving server in the event one server fails, the primary server advertises an artificially high hop count (the true hop count plus a pseudo hop count).
