Not to mention sites that are more than 30 hops away from each

that the hopcount diameter is once again becoming an issue as it
was prior to 1995.
That was in many respects a host problem - hosts initialized TTLS to
32, and in so doing limited themselves to that diameter. I believe
most hosts now set the magic number to 64. Do we believe that we are
pushing that boundary?
