Since any node is guaranteed to process a message only once, a message can be rebounded only n times (where n is the number of nodes). For a dense network, that means that a large hopcount will never be reached. For a sparse network, we actually want a higher hopcount.
In any case, we could ignore the hopcount since there will never be more than n rebroadcasts for any given message.
Investigate this with large number testing and sparse vs dense networks before closing this issue.
