Mailing List Archive: Verizon NJ Hetzner DE, routes via LA?

Since yesterday, I've started to see an increase in latency between my
self in NJ on Verizon FIOS and Hetzner in DE. Even using Verizon:s
looking glass is giving me 250ms. This is an increase of about 150ms
(Seems to be true for most of the US East Coast)
A traceroute seems to tell me that the traffic is routed via LA, which
could explain the increase in latency.

Traceroute from Verizon looking glass page, sourcing Newark
https://www.verizon.com/business/why-verizon/looking-glass/

traceroute to 144.76.94.10 (144.76.94.10), 30 hops max, 52 byte packets

Does anyone have any more insight? (Verizon status pages says everything
is fine, ofc)

that's odd to see, I had thought DTAG was a peer of 701 at some point.
maybe that's an incorrect 15 yr old memory :( (or maybe things changed!)

it happens that from IAD area ... same path via LAX :(
It also seems strange that 3320 would ONLY appear in LAX... maybe their
east-coast
landings are feeling under the weather?

the link you see above is a customer link ,so.. sure, everything for VZ is
fine :)
their customer though MAY be having a sad day.
