[FiOS] being routed through a farmhouse in kansas IP 50.126.112.9I am being routed through what looks to be a farmhouse in Kansas? My Tracert command leaves my router then to bvtn.or.frontier.net [50.53.176.1] then goes to this; 50.126.112.9 -----this is a farmhouse in Kansas check it out!sometimes the last (server #) is .5 Then through the normal 2 frontier.com switches shown above then 2 sttl.wa.frontier.com switches then to my destination. The question is why am I being directed through a farmhouse in Kansas? Google earth confirms this |

Thought an IP had to be a switch or physical location of server? |

Post a full traceroute, it's hard to make sense out of what's been posted. |

Seems like he thinks 50.126.112.9 is located in Kansas becuase some GeoIP services puts it there.
This is not correct, and that information is very often wrong as it is in this case. |

Google Earth doesn't know where equipment with IP addresses is located. You are referencing equipment which I can't see, because you did not post your trace route. I am leery of pinging/tracing routers because often they don't like responding to diagnostic packets as an endpoint. However, with nothing better to rely on: Tracing route to 50.126.112.9 over a maximum of 30 hops

I am sorry to report, but there is nothing in Kansas, farmhouse, or otherwise, that is only 37 ms from my San José, California connection. In fact, it is pretty obvious that my trace does not even leave California! |

The reason I posted the OP was 3 different IP lookups showed that IP well, in a farmhouse in Kansas. |

Again GeoLocation services are often very wrong, even when more then one say the same thing, just means they got their data from the same place. |

I am routed over a barbed wire fence, through the woods behind a farmhouse in Kansas. Frontier has been changing edge routers around. I have been moved several times in the last few weeks. "Network upgrades" resulting in: |

Which is the case here too. Note is says n/a for the location, city, state, and just draws the map centered in the US. » www.infosniper.net/index ··· _level=7 |
