| [speed/latency] Interpretting a tracert
 webx.txt 3,084 bytes tracert to webx and dslreports |
Hi. I have a weekly meeting using webex.com. every time we connect with, there is an awful connection on my end.
The Webex support states to do a tracert and look for latency. When we do the tracert, it fails at hop 9 every time and never is able to get beyond that after 30 hops.
The last IP it is able to get (hop 8) is an MCI/Verizon IP.
The end IP is not pingable (webex.com). Does this just mean I'm hitting a bad router out there?
Thanks! |

| reply to AmyC It appears to be some sort of routing issue with Verizon, with either a peer being down or something else. When I run a trace route from my DSL connection from Verizon, it times out after hop 8 at the IP address of 152.63.36.53. This IP, according to WHOIS is owned by "MCI Communications Services, Inc. d/b/a Verizon Business ." So yeah, same problem here when I trace the server in your trace route from here. Don't know what to tell you here really... |

said by AmyC :The end IP is not pingable (webex.com). Does this just mean I'm hitting a bad router out there? Not necessarily. Could just mean that the destination isn't responsive to ICMP. OTOH, trace route from my IP connection dies in a different manner than yours: Level 3 performs the same function as MCI Communications Services. I can't check upstream adjacencies any more (the old web tool doesn't work; I haven't foud a replacement), so I don't know where either Level 3, or MCI come into play.
