Re: [CenturyTel] 'speed outage' in northern North Carolina (Oran How are you determining that your routes are going through RM? most information about ip address geo location aren't very accurate that i've seen.
from Tarboro, NC (east of RM) to google.com
Tracing route to google.com [74.125.93.103] over a maximum of 30 hops:

 | How are you determining that your routes are going through RM? most information about ip address geo location aren't very accurate that i've seen. The hostnames of the routers: bb-rcmtncxa-jx9-02-ae0.core.centurytel.net [208.110.248.66]
I don't know what the bb- is, or the xa, but rcmtnc is Rocky Mount, NC.
bb-asbnvacy-jx9-02-ae3.0.core.centurytel.net [208.110.248.170]
asbnva is Ashburn, VA.
Some companies are more clear than others: te9-3-0d0.cir1.ashburn-va.us.xo.net [216.156.116.29]
It seems to be a loose naming convention for backbone routers across networks.
te0-2-0-0.ccr22.dca01.atlas.cogentco.com
That one appears to be in Washington D.C. since it's only a few hops from the Ashburn XO router, with no discernible increase in latency. |

 | Good catch. I didn't notice how obvious that was. Here is a tracert from my home connection: Tracing route to google.com [74.125.115.105] over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 10 ms 10 ms 10 ms xRemoved 2 40 ms 58 ms 28 ms xRemoved 3 32 ms 27 ms 35 ms nc-65-162-201-245.sta.embarqhsd.net [65.162.201 245] 4 27 ms 80 ms 54 ms host.lightcore.net [208.110.248.129] 5 56 ms 66 ms 76 ms bb-asbnvacy-jx9-02-ae3.0.core.centurytel.net [2 8.110.248.170] 6 103 ms 36 ms 56 ms bb-asbnvacy-jx9-01-ae0.0.core.centurytel.net [2 8.110.248.117] 7 44 ms 37 ms 37 ms 72.14.219.254 8 39 ms 55 ms 74 ms 216.239.48.108 9 78 ms 78 ms 49 ms 209.85.241.222 10 58 ms 48 ms 49 ms 209.85.251.228 11 * 136 ms 53 ms 209.85.242.177 12 50 ms 50 ms 87 ms vx-in-f105.1e100.net [74.125.115.105]
Trace complete. Interesting how my 4th hop isn't very descriptive and then it is Ashburn, VA
Now that is is in the evening hours like everyone seems to have issues, i'm going to rerun my speed tests and report back. |
