AT&T. Layer 6-8 needed.

Mon Jul 27 03:45:40 UTC 2009

Someone just pointed out that I dumbassedly tracerouted to img.4chan.com,
which is a linkfarm.

img.4chan.org is also reachable from AT&T in NY:

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 207.126.64.182, timeout is 2 seconds:
.!..!
Success rate is 40 percent (2/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 164/196/228 ms
ny01-rtr#

Type escape sequence to abort.
Tracing the route to img.4chan.org (207.126.64.182)

However, it's equally as unhealthy from Comcast:

--- img.4chan.org ping statistics ---
110 packets transmitted, 77 packets received, 30% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 62.635/233.576/639.919/96.254 ms

So, enough with the conspiracy theories already.
