Bad Route / High Latency

I'm wondering why this route is so bad. It's from Dallas, TX to Atlanta, GA.

https://budgetnode.com/network

45.43.208.106

This is on a VPN, hence the additional ~40ms. Is this typical? It's going through what looks to be Los Angeles and then going through Ashburn, VA before going to Atlanta.

  • May be due to voxility ?.

    But before that (hop 6 to 7), it's already ending up in Los Angeles. The problem is it ending up in LA at all. I've seen some bad routing before, but this is pretty bad.

    Ding.

    VOX by design wants this route; it could be different.

  • Your provider's upstream (TATA) is handing the traffic to Telia in LA.

  • Voxility for you, it's the one downside to their protection.

  • Are they aware this sort of thing is happening? Is there anyway to prevent this from happening?

    This is not caused by Voxility, but by the handoff from this user's upstream provider. The user's upstream provider is handing the traffic to Telia in Los Angeles.

    The user should contact their upstream provider and ask them to re-route traffic over a different carrier, if possible.

    The same result of going through Telia and Voxility in LA to Ashburn, VA to Atlanta has happened with

    1) The result above I posted. This was through a VPN going through Dallas (Goes through some Linode stuff from the traceroute, I omitted this part).

    2) I tried with my SSDNodes VPS in dallas and got the same result.

    3) I've had two people using their residential internet in entirely different major cities get the same result.

    @qps: Who would I contact about the route being bad? I get the internet doesn't work by distance necessarily, but it seems like a ping of 30-50ms should be reasonable from Dallas to Atlanta if a decent route is taken, instead of in the 70-100 ms range by routing through LA.

    Since you are a Budget Node customer, please contact them, and they can pass the info to us and we can investigate further.

  • Ishaq already commented on this thread, so maybe I'll wait for him to read this again. But like I said, there's multiple separate sources that are having this same issue in the Texas region.

  • qpsqps Member, Host Rep

    cirrus_cloud said: same issue in the Texas region.

    If they all have Tata in common, there may not be much we can do, as Tata is routing the traffic to LA and handing it off to Telia there.

  • Not bad for me (in TO):

  • @doghouch Clarification: I get fine ping on it from northeast US and probably other places. I noticed Texas in particular from people trying to connect to it and reporting high ping.

  • qpsqps Member, Host Rep

    @cirrus_cloud I did a traceroute from Telia in Dallas and it routes through LA as well, so it may be something that Voxility can fix. I have a ticket open with them.

  • Alright. All I can tell you is the common link in all of the tests from Texas are:

    las-b21-link.telia.net

    And the hop after that is

    voxility-ic-304820-las-bb1.c.telia.net

  • qpsqps Member, Host Rep

    @cirrus_cloud Please check again. Voxility made some changes.

    Oh. I thought that you meant that it was bad everywhere :P

    If it helps, latency was pretty high from NY earier

    Unfortunately its not uncommon to see this with Ashburn Voxility. They don't have a Dallas PoP so with Anycast central US has to go one way or the other (West/East).

    They probably have some tuning nobs which the adjust depending on load on either datacenter.
