[KLUG Members] Network speed question.

[Anthony G. Mattas]

Not necessarily, I've seen on some versions of Various TCP stacks (Win 9x
especially) when addressed as a.b.c.d where the packet goes out to the
switch/router before it comes back.

But it only tells you the IP hops.  It doesn't indicate anything about
the flow of the packets through the IP stack of the OS.  In this
hypothetical we know that both a.b.c.d and 127.0.0.1 are local.  There
will be only one hop.
