[AusNOG] Best roundtrip latency to Israel?

[Clay Quinn]

Hi All,

An oddball question - is anyone using services over Internet to Israel (VPN etc), and if so what is your round-trip latency?  From a Telstra TID connection I'm getting around 400ms (Sydney, LA, New York, UK, France, Israel).  I'm curious if there's a less-latent path on another provider/route (RDP sessions are painfully slow).

Using 30,000km as an estimate for the fibre distance, that gives a theoretical minimum latency of 300ms (0.5us/km * 30,000km * both directions).  So there's an additional 100ms of overhead there (OEO conversions probably - 30 hops in traceroute).

If that's par for the course, I guess WAN acceleration is really the only option - I understand it's a pretty long path.  If anyone has any unique solutions to this problem I'd love to hear it.


Cheers
Clay
