I thought of that, but tried a few (incomplete) tests here in the LAN with the IPv4 version and it returned the correct number of hops. I say incomplete, because I didn't try to cross the AS border. Over the Internet, it returns high numbers that look close to what I'd expect (64-hops) to be, indeed. > Assume the peer starts with a TTL of 64 that gives you reasonable > numbers. Yes, it does. I just don't know if it IS a correct measurement, or just looks like it. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
