Internet diameter?

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.  ;)

...but something tells me that isn’t they response you were seeking... 

... but seriously it is interesting that with local caching that much of the Internet is now sitting local in the subscriber’s ISP.
