Re: Internet diameter?

Hello,

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.

In the past 2 years of running `traceroute` towards YouTube from home networks, the maximum IP path length we have seen is around 22 IP hops. details, see: https://vaibhavbajpai.com/documents/papers/proceedings/youtube-traceroutes-c...

Thanks, Bill Herrin

PS: This (path lengths) is only towards YouTube destinations. -- Vaibhav ------------------------------ Vaibhav Bajpai www.vaibhavbajpai.com Postdoctoral Fellow Technische Universität München ------------------------------
