| [northeast] Poor routes from 1 state away?
I have a buddy up in Rochester, NY. I live in NJ. I host a gameserver on my FIOS 20/20 line. At one point, he was getting excellent pingtimes to my server.
At some point my IP changed. Now he gets a REALLY crappy route both to and from my server. Can you guys offer up any advice as to how this should be handled, and more importantly, by whom?
It looks like his packets go all the way from NY, to texas, california, etc even though he's one state away!
Here's a traceroute from my server to his home, and from his home to my server:

| Looks like the latency is on the rr.com network. You get on the rr.com network quickly from FIOS but then they route it through a lot of hops with a lot of latency. Looks like it goes Wash DC to Atlanta to Dallas to Chicago to Rochester. Nothing you can do. -- Tweaked your connection? | Mail Parse | Speed Converter |

@optonline.net | reply to Ice Nine Is there anything my friend can do? |

@optonline.net | reply to Ice Nine I wonder if this is deliberate... |

@optonline.net | reply to Ice Nine Could part of the problem be that he's a former adelphia customer? It looks like a few of the IP's in his traceroute track back to Adelphia, at least according to ARIN.NET... |

| reply to Ice Nine If they use MPLS as a transport, it will heal itself by using secondary / redundant links to 'route around' a failed ckt, or other problem. This is done transparently to layer-3 traffic. This is how one day, you'll see 3ms difference between two hops, and the next day you'll see 50sm, only to have it return to normal the next day. |
