What do these sentences mean?
1. Arbitrary value, typically based on hop count, media bandwidth, or other measures, that is assigned by a network administrator and used to compare various paths through an internetwork environment. (I don't understand this sentence. I have singular 'hop count' then singular 'media bandwidth' and then I go to plural 'other measures'? Is this sentence correct?)
2. Arbitrary value, typically based on hop count, media bandwidth, or another measure, that is assigned by a network administrator and used to compare various paths through an internetwork environment.
Thanks.

Hi, I can see you are confused by the mix of singular and plural but it is correct. 1) You can assign a value based on a number of measures, which include hop count and media bandwidth, but could also be from a number of other options of measurement. 2) This is suggesting that one measure will be used, again giving hop count and media bandwidth as example, but it doesn't say how many possible options of measurement there are, it could be just one other or many.

- Probably many, as if there were only three possible measures surely they would have just listed them all.
