If this isn't on topic (one of the major transit provides routing) nothing is and we should pack up the list and go home. One useful aspect of this list is to allow people to ask if an issue (perceived or otherwise) is a general one or just effects them or their providers. In this case, seeing as no one else has confirmed it for the OP, I can confirm that traffic to 8.8.8.8 via the Global Gateway, Vocus and CallPlus networks is still routing to Sydney at sub 30ms rates. I would suggest that the OP (and others if desired) might want to log a call with Vodafone and ask them to look at it. cheers -----Original Message----- From: Ben Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 9:31 AM To: JoelWirāmuPauling Cc: Nznog List Subject: Re: [nznog] TelstraVodaHug core lag On Tue, Sep 17, 2013 at 09:12:22AM +1200, Joel Wirāmu Pauling wrote:
Using anything at googles SDN managed ip network as a metric/benchmark is foolish at best.
My first thought was that this is kind of off-topic for NZNOG. But I think it would be valid information for what hosts are actually good to test to. And I don't know if there's any kind of worldwide list of sites that are ok with being monitored by a lot of people, and want to publicise...
