I'd argue that's just content (though admittedly a lot of it). You can't cache, e.g., a SIP trunk, and offices which need to connect to each other can't cache one another in a CDN either. On Wed, Nov 21, 2018, 10:29 PM Aaron1 <aaron1@gvtc.com wrote:
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. ;)

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
