    Crazy Trace-Route with AT&T

    Posted 15 years 7 months ago
    • I just Neo-traced IMhosted in Atlanta, GA.
      I use AT&T for internet. This displays how crazy AT&T's node routing is.
      The trace (see image) Goes from
      1- Little Rock, AR. to Plano, TX (suburb of Dallas)
      2- Plano, TX. to Chicago, Ill.
      3- Chicago, Ill. back to Dallas, TX.
      4- and finally - Dallas, TX. to Atlanta, GA.
      They don't even realize the big wasted loop in the middle of the route!
      This is why the buying and selling of bandwidth, like you would a commodity, is a bad idea.

      BTW: anyone wanting to get their own copy of NeoTrace PRO can get it here. It's shareware! It Works REALLY well!!!

    • You can also use a free tool called www.visualroute.ch (you get re-directed to www.bbox.ch/default.asp?m=15 though)
    • Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.

    • the direct (as the crow flies) distance is 438 miles, but the rerouting makes for a total trip of about 2000 miles!
      Ridiculous! There should be a better-way....
