I have gotten halfway around the world (was accessing a New Zealand database) with few (single-digit) hope and have also seen a dozen miles take multiple (double-digit, the first digit neither one or two) hops. Unless you are concerned with network location and have dropped the geographical location idea, of course. I've also seen the same subnet go across multiple nations (corporate network) and multiple subnets in the same building. I recommend against confusing apples with oranges. Jim Jimi Thompson wrote:
Physically locating people via "hops" isn't a very viable method.
