Help with route latency between TATA and Comcast

Tue Jun 24 19:24:21 UTC 2014

Hi

As from Tata AS6453 looking glass:

Router: gin-laa-mcore3
Site: US, Los angeles, LAA
Command: ping ip 216.6.87.114

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 216.6.87.114, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/4 ms

So basically that IP/router is in US but you getting high latency because
of return path which is likely via East Asia. As Joel rightly pointed out -
end to end latency is just fine in this case.

Have fun!
