Physical location of cvsup servers
Hi, Can anyone point me to a link that shows the physical location of the U.S. cvsup servers? -- Thanks, Charles Things that make you say, Hmm...

You will have to consult whois for the routing information, and then, even still the results may be inaccurate, as IP space allocated to someone in Orlando Florida may be using some of their space in Dallas Texas. Neat little tricks such as MPLS could have you make one hop across the country while you think you are still in one local city. What do you want to achieve? fastest_cvsup will tell you addressing of the servers. You will have to contact those responsible for the IPs to see where they are located to ensure any form of accuracy regarding geo-location.

Can you produce the output of fastest_cvsup, include the top two results (add #17 if it isn't included), and then provide the output of a traceroute to #17? Perhaps you have a faulty asymmetric path to 17... It is important to know that just because a server may be literally located at the building across the street, it doesn't mean that you are guaranteed a path that may not cross the country (and in some situations, across an ocean) and back. I don't know where you are located, but generally, I've found cvsup8 to be extremely quick (in terms of latency) and very reliable for a number of years.
