Hello, 1. I am evaluating two ISPs, and currently I am connected to both of them on different PCs with equivalent processing power. I have run a traceroute to google on two PCS connected to each network at the same time and I get the following:
a) ISP1 and ISP2 both have the same number of hops to Google - that's where the similarity ends b) ISP1 has shorter times in the tracert output between 10 and 240ms while ISP2 has between 200-700ms c) The tracert from ISP1, with shorter times take 7 seconds to complete against 3 seconds for ISP2. Basically the information for the longer hops is returned signifcantly faster than that for the slower hops d) ISP1 has poorer VOIP connectivity than ISP2 e) The bandwidth for both ISPs is the same 2. Why does the ISP with slower times between hops perform worse (I would expect that its better) 3. What do the slower times between hops stand for, I thought that the less time the better performance Thanks in advance Stephen _______________________________________________ LUG mailing list [email protected] http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ All Archives can be found at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
