i sit behind cox-cable service at home, and in troubleshooting why my
connectivity is *so* horrible, i find the following traceroute. does
anyone do any sane routing anymore? does diameter matter (we used to talk
about it a long, long while ago). i guess i'm just old and crusty but this
seems to violate so many natural laws.
i find in more random testing that i seem to be a minimum of 15 hops from
anything, and it's not just the # of hops, it's the *paths* i travel.
bouncing between two cities several times, on several different provider
networks, from one border to the other.
wow.
