Ping statistics for www.google.com
Packets: Sent = 1, Received = 1, Lost = 0 (0.0%)
Round Trip Times: Minimum = 5ms, Maximum = 5ms, Average = 5ms
I guess his results are accurate. I stand corrected.
I did notice something odd. If I ping www.yahoo.com, I get about 24ms average but if I ping just yahoo.com (without the www) I get 87ms average. Is it normal for them to direct you to a completely different server if you leave off the www.? I know it's probably a dumb question but I've always found it odd. |

kudos:2 | In some cases www and non-www will go to a totally different server.
In your case, you're going to Google in Atlanta, not Google in California. Not even light can make it all the way across the US in five milliseconds. |

shows the last hop (74.125.65.99) as California. That was what seemed the most confusing.
Either way, thanks for the info. |
