[AusNOG] Best roundtrip latency to Israel?

[Brad Peczka]

Have you considered the use of Citrix and the ICA protocol instead of RDP?

Or, depending on how much cash you want to throw at it, how about a Private Line service that heads west over SMW3? The path should be shorter than going east via the US and may shave a few ms more off your connection?

Regards,
-Brad.

Thanks – so 350ms probably about as good as we can get (thanks to others who replied directy).  Accordingly to TCP calculator, still going to be really slow with this latency.  WAN acceleration might be the only option (unless any other creative solutions we haven’t considered).

LG should be your friend...

Try Vocus http://tools.vocus.com.au/lg/
and
NTT Australia https://www.us.ntt.net/support/looking-glass/

One destination IP from Smile Telecom showing ~350ms delay.

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.
