Alistair,

   I believe he's referring to the number of carriers a call needs to 
traverse, till it reaches its final destination - not the actual IP hop 
count from his gateway to the termination side - that is easy.

   I don't believe such a tool exists, nor do I believe that such a tool 
can be built.
