Hi, Please see the traceroute attached...... from my machine on a BSNL - Dataone connectivity to www.ilug-cal.info. Points to be noted.... 1. Most of the users for this website are based in Kolkata using a local ISP service. 2. The trace clearly highlights the path the packet takes from BSNL to site via BSNL to Mumbai - VSNL, then on VSNL backbone from Mumbai to Calcutta and finally lands at JPM's premises. 3. This extraordinary routing (due to ISP end misconfigurations) increases the delay from approx. 70 ms to 100 ms. We need to check (with the ISPs) in spite of both the ISPs being connected to NIXI at Kolkata, why such routing is taking place, after all it is us the users who are paying for it as well as suffering. with Regards, ASHWIN __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
