 |
|
I'm in RoadRunner's S. Cal. area, in the socal.rr.com domain, and I
find that tracerts to major servers (e.g. yahoo.com, google.com, rr.com,
even to MIT.edu) show a lot of timeouts randomly scattered along the
route to the servers. Following the route hop by hop and doing "ping -t"
to each node, I find that pings to the first upstream node (having IP
address 10.x.y.z) don't have any timeouts. But pings to the nodes
beyond that, the first few of which have IP addresses 76.x.y.z in the
socal.rr.com domain, start showing timeouts averaging about one
every 6 to 8 pings. Does that mean that the dropped packets reflect
congestion or a flaky router in the socal.rr.com domain?

EVERYTHING was congested yesterday. Even Apple's iTunes store was saying |
"Sorry, we're busy, go away for a while".
I guess all those new iPods and iTunes gift cards were being used. And
who knows, maybe a few Zunes also.  |
