Just to be sure, Peering or Transit?
Im thinking peer at the moment, but transit would be cool also. Im concerned with Galera replication latency around my nodes. Whichever map would help with that.
Yea but that is just huge tables of info. Im looking for that, graphically.
"The US" isn't a network. Are you asking about a map of the biggest interconnection points or something like that?
Yes and thanks for correcting me. I was under the assumption the US was a network...
It wasn't meant to sound bad. It's that the US as a territory doesn't just have a "peering map" which can be made, since there are a lot of networks operating there.
You should also remember that peering in the US isn't as popular as in Europe and most of the traffic is transit.
There are plenty of maps detailing mayor interconnection hubs if you search Google images a bit
No actually I thought the US was a network and that we all connected at some terminals someplace. I am actually probably in need of some more basic research at this point. I thought that each country would have a network. Im less sysadminr and more programr
Understood
Countries don't usually have a single "national network". It's usually a lot of interconnected networks and they aren't limited to the country, they can be international.
See for example this traceroute from my ISP to Twitter:
1- Internal network
2, 3 - My ISP
4, 5 - GlobalNET: this is an ISP which my ISP buys transit from. Transit = they pay GlobalNET which operates a bigger network so they can get connectivity to other places where my ISP doesn't have presence.
6 - Gothenburg Internet Exchange. Here GlobalNET peers with Twitter (which operates its own network).
7, 8 - Twitter's network in Atlanta.
I hope this is a decent starting point to understand it.
Thats Netnod in Stockholm not Goteborg.
What plans did you have network/architecture-wise for this? I run a three-node Galera cluster for a startup, and keeping low latencies is super-important. Were you thinking of keeping nodes in different regions of the US? It might make more sense to keep things all in the same area (but different DCs) for latency's sake, but do binlog replication elsewhere in case things go sour.
I already have 5 production nodes running. 4 on ramnode in each geographic area they offer in the US. Today I just spun up a Vultr in Chicago that has more latency then I would like to the rest of the nodes, but its passable. 20-40 is fair enough. I dont go full ACID on transactions and if something misses then its not the end of the world. I'm 1 heavy read/ 10 small writes for all transactions for the most part. So far I have not had any sync issues however when it comes time to overseas the data edges, well then I am going to be looking binlog or something else most likely.
Hey all I found a map! I have no idea but it looks cool.

Where's the best place to go to learn about all this stuff (peering, etc.)
OP got tired of cutting fiber in the Bay Area, and wants to branch out to other parts of the country.
I prefer terminal for routeviews, there's always : http://bgplay.routeviews.org/.
Indeed (STH).
Not sure, sorry.
