Hi Folks,
Anyone with Akamai contacts watching NZNOG today?
I'd like to help them sort out geographic locations of IP address blocks. I think our distributed content should probably not be coming from Japan via the US. :-)
<snip traceroute>
It depends on your upstream, Mine look excellent via TCL or GG upstreams.
<snip more traceroutes> to try and save everyone pasting traceroutes: http://tr.meta.net.nz/output/akamai.png has a traceroute done to "www.akamai.com" by name (instead of the web interface, which always resolves to a single IP then traceroutes to that). The colour of the arrows shows the estimated rtt for that hop green being low, red being high, and brown being something in the middle. If you have a brown hop on your way to akamai, then you're probably transitting the pacific. Sorry about all the white boxes, my ebgp session is currently down so I can't easily do as# lookups :)
