Considering 40% of the “internet” is sitting in my backyard in cdn caching, I’d say the perceived diameter for that 
content is.... 3 or 4 hops.  ;)

...but something tells me that isn’t they response you were seeking... 

... but seriously it is interesting that with local caching that much of the Internet is now sitting local in the 
subscriber’s ISP.

Hi folks,

Does anybody have more or less recent data on the average, median and
maximum diameter (ip hop count) of the Internet? My google fu is
failing me: I've only found stuff from the '90s.

Thanks,
Bill Herrin
