Recently I have had slow connections to most web sites.  Once connection is made, things seem OK.  I dod a trace route to verizon.net and appears there is a bad router.  Anybody else having slow web site connections ?  How can we report this to Verizon ?


Tracing route to verizon.net [206.46.232.39] over a maximum of 30 hops:

  1   319 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  myrouter.home [192.168.1.1]
  2     7 ms     6 ms     7 ms  L100.LSANCA-VFTTP-142.verizon-gni.net [173.55.53.1]
  3    10 ms     6 ms     9 ms  G0-3-3-3.LSANCA-LCR-22.verizon-gni.net [130.81.180.176]
  4     *        *        *     Request timed out.
  5    66 ms    46 ms    45 ms  ge-3-1-0-0.DFW01-BB-RTR1.verizon-gni.net [130.81.17.68]
  6    48 ms    46 ms    47 ms  so-1-0-0-0.DFW03-CORE-RTR1.verizon-gni.net [130.81.20.157]
  7    44 ms    46 ms    44 ms  po1.ctn-border1.vzlink.com [206.46.225.85]
  8    46 ms    44 ms    44 ms  po121.ctn-core1.vzlink.com [206.46.225.18]
  9    46 ms    45 ms    46 ms  206.46.228.130
 10    46 ms    46 ms    46 ms  206.46.232.39

Trace complete.

This trace is 100% repeatable.

For traveling from Los Angeles to the Dallas/Fort Worth area, the latency is acceptable. Did the router at Hop 4 respond in the past before this problem started to occur? Have you tried other DNS servers to ensure the delay isn't actually related to slow DNS Lookups?

Thanks for the reply.   I am not upset with the LAX to DFW times, just the inop router.  Normally, the link to verizon is about 5 hops.  It appears a router is down and the 'system' reroutes the connection once the router (4) times out.

That is a natural behavior of the internet.  It routes traffic based on shortest path/fastest path.   So if it thinks the shortest/fastest is a different route, then it will take it.

Also If the 4th router is configured not to respond to pings, it will appear as a timeout.

That does not mean that is where the problem is. Your ping times to the 5th router are normal, so there is nothing wrong with the 4th router.
