hi

      As the title says, How can we know how many hops a packet passed when it reached its destination?

Thanks!

    One way is to investigate a sniffer log for a specific node in a network by looking at the MAC source/destination address and/or the NWK short address of specific application message.  

    This is the general idea of the ZigBee Mesh:

    Mesh network routing employs AODV  - (Ad Hoc On Demand Distance Vector Routing)
    with Ad Hoc (Network is unknown at start-up)
    wwth On Demand (Determines the route to the destination only when needed)
    with Distance Vector (Only the final destination and the next hop are stored at each node. Relies on a distributed protocol to handle routing)

    Final destination and next hop is stored at each node, so this is what you will have to investigate
