• Cisco warns that setting VCS/Expressway hop counts higher than necessary risks loops, and advises turning on call loop detection. in context
• The default zone hop count on Cisco VCS/Expressway is 15, and Cisco recommends 70 for zones whose traffic crosses unknown networks such as cloud or internet services. in context
• On Cisco VCS, a request forwarded through a zone uses the lower of its received hop count and the zone's configured hop count, and the count is then decremented at each hop; 483 Too Many Hops results if it reaches zero before the destination. in context
