I placed filtering dns resolver and querystats analyzing scripts on them.
ChicagoVPS LA node is really nice for me. Faster storage and ping to major datacenter.

  • What's the purpose of this thread?
    They use different locations, obviously the nearest one will give you better results...

  • InfinityInfinity Member, Host Rep

    I don't really see how that's a review..

    @yomero said: They use different locations, obviously the nearest one will give you better results...

  • ^ is lost. Really I have no clue what this about. Not to be mean but my mind is blown. I agree Infinity how can this possibly be a review of anything?

  • Why are you tracerouting to x.ns.gin.ntt.net? What's the significance of this?

  • public dns resolvers of ntt america are widely distributed. the destination of 2 traceroute results have same IP but on different place.

    how far away from major IX is important atleast for me. Sorry for my crazy opinion not useful for you.

  • Your test is too limited. I do check a dozen of location and FRH has similar latency with CVPS (88 vs 70), which is logical, Denver not being Chicago. Also, you should see that FRH has a way better network speed than CVPS, which may not be important for DNS requests but is for anything else.

  • @cause said: how far away from major IX is important atleast for me.

    How is it important? I only ask to learn.

  • IMCO,
    If one want to compare 2 datacenter in same region, the distance from IX directly effect their latency because most packets come through major IX.
    For example, @hostingwizard_net said there are about 18ms difference between them. I think this conclusion is not conflict to my test. ChicagoVPS LA node would be located on a few msec from an IX in LA. FRHosting would be 26msec from another IX on CO. (please forgive me 8msec error.)

    Ofcourse my test is limited by which IX is "major" NTT America thought. If you want more reliable data, you have to place probe server on IX which is important for you. Or you can choose any CDN as traceroute/ping target.

    Traceroute from your home may result nearly same conclusion (if you know which hop is the focused IX). But please remember that the response from routers may varied/delayed because most routers do not handle ICMP prior to other more important packets.

    Sorry for my poor Janglish.
