This is not urgent and probably not important.
I have noticed that with the turn of the month (31st-> 1st) the RTT from my probe (#1118) to a.root-servers.net has gone up a lot. It went from ~32ms to ~115 ms (with a max of 494 ms).
I checked the statistics of a few other public probes ("randomly" picked) and could not find that pattern repeated there.
So what does this tell me? Has my ISP downgraded one of their uplinks?
There is only three other probes here in Canada and they are not public, so I can't check their numbers.
Mine should be public? probe ID 223 in downtown Toronto. a.root-servers.net 198.41.0.4 86.274 ms / 86.633 ms / 87.010 ms 2011-11-05 21:59:19 UTC http://zpm00.atlas.ripe.net/atlas/rrd.png?prb_id=223&msm_id=1009&graph=tiny_rtt&type=hourly&end=last I'm using DSL with Teksavvy, and getting a-root from: $ dig +short +norec @a.root-servers.net hostname.bind chaos txt "ans13-lax2" Paul
