Any chance of getting more direct routing to Wikipedia? in Sonic.net http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r21111369 en Sat, 04 Jul 2009 19:19:14 EDT Sat, 04 Jul 2009 19:19:14 EDT Re: Any chance of getting more direct routing to Wikipedia? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21113277 DaneJasper : Okie, the route has changed. The alternate and slightly more latency route was a result of us shutting down one of our upstream links due to their network having some trouble. That's been resolved, so it's back online and we're back on the better path.

That could be the point where it crosses the country. We're looking at it.

I wonder what the return path looks like. While this path isn't the most direct, it at least has good latency.

So I ran a traceroute today and was more than a bit surprised at the result even with Wiki being located in Tampa.

From my view Im going to SF from San Diego, dumped into Layer42 for a loop which then takes me to Seattle, peers with someone called HGTN (never heard of them before), up to Vancouver BC (!), across to Chicago, through Atlanta and then into Wikipedia. Whoo! What a trip, literally.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21111369 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 02:26:20 EDT
