Maximum number of hops in a zigbee network

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

Hello,

We are testing zigbee(Version 2.5.0)  with some 25 Routers and 1 coordinator.

All routers are placed in a linear fashion and data packets are expected to be reach at the coordinator by multiple hoping.

My question is   

Is there any limit in the max number of hops for a zigbee network?

Thanks in Advance

Regards

    It is defined by MAX_NODE_DEPTH in ZStack. The default value is 5.

    1 -- What is the correct way to calculate the maximum number of hops of the z-stack:

                   2* MAX_NODE_DEPTH = ?         or          MAX_NODE_DEPTH = ?

     

     

    2 -- MAX_NODE_DEPTH= 255, Is the max value that can be defined?

    3 -- If the max number of hops is too high, it can bring traffic problems on the network?

    1&2. You can refer to the discussion at http://e2e.ti.com/support/low_power_rf/f/158/t/50280.aspx

    3. It is possible to cause problem if there is too many hops. I have no experience on this topic and I would suggest you to try it to see the limits.
