Hi,

Just wondered if people would mind pinging and tracing www.epik.net for me and posting or mailing me the results.

From here in the UK I am getting times of 160ish m/s and about 20 hops.

Thanks.

Thats what I get from the BT network (INTERNAL BT NETWORK)

Same here, but www.epik.net works fine. (That IS what he mentioned in his post though, looking back)

SuperDon, you'll find this site useful for what you are asking:
http://www.ispworld.com/Find_Backbone.htm

You can do various traces from quite a few places all o'er the marble.

www.traceroute.org is a great resource. Epik uses almost, if not exclusively Level3 Atlanta bandwidth from what I understand, so that's what you should see.

i also use www.traceroute.org but the result differs from backbone (tracroute.org) to end user.

A VERY useful site for determining BGP paths, traceroute return paths, and ICMP latency from virtually every corner of the globe is http://www.traceroute.org.









Anyways, here are my ping times:

And here is a traceroute. I am peered with Level3 in Dallas, and it looks like they peer with Level3 in Atlanta. However, they stop responding to UDP echos at about router hop 12.
