    Yes, it's in Dallas, the ASN points to LA, but the traceroute goes to Dallas.

    It is in Dallas:

    11 165 ms 148 ms 141 ms dal-ten2-1-nsh-ten1-4.bboi.net [64.127.130.50]

    12 142 ms 141 ms 141 ms 8011-on-net-cust.bboi.net [64.127.129.118]

    QuadraNet have a Dallas location too. IPs may be SWIPed to LA as that's their flagship location.

    No, they are not lying. GeoLocation often goes by ASN Path. And since QuadraNet's ASN origin is LA, GeoLocation will report LA.

    I'm on the East Coast, and this traceroute and ping can't be hitting LA, this is indeed Dallas.

  • mokafumokafu Member

    I'm seeing a 1ms ping from Incero in Dallas, so It's indeed in Dallas.

    Number one 1 pet peeve

    I hate explaining geolocation and will get mad posted if you argue against tracert logic

  • sktanmoysktanmoy Member

    Provider is WeLoveServer. Not sure what is going on! I failed to understand the Traceroute report :(

    Isn't that clear enough?

    The hardware and network are in Dallas. IPs are just registered in LA because that's their flagship location.

    If your hosting provider fails to understand a traceroute output,

    Re-read it, he said he doesn't understand the traceroute.
