That article was deeply mistaken. 50 was reasonable for older IOS with
bugs back in ... 2001-2003? I think. under the auspices of apnic, gih
has done serious study of network diameter [specifically in relation to
churn and background noise, but useful data here]. I'm a big fan of
belts and suspenders but would reccomend taking at least a coarse
analysis of the path lengths seen in your neck of the woods from your
providers before setting a number.
Cheers,
