Google Cloud and IX - Traffic behavior

Mon Jun 19 13:36:28 UTC 2017

     Hi,

     Yes Stephen, we're talking the usual like GTT...

     And no latency wise they're about the same.  In the 35ms range.

     But I still can't figure out the 10 x drop, that level of latency 
alone cannot be the factor.

     ( And Gordy...  what?!? )
