further down, the naming convention is [port].[routertype].TCO#.Alter.Net

TCO=Tyson's Corners, Va.

Hate to follow myself up continually, but I thought I'd show you what I meant
with a snapshot from your original trace to bricksmiths.com from your client
location:

See?  From London, through DCA (which I assume is, in fact, Washington DC)
through TCO (Tyson's Corners) where they peer with whoever it was that led them
to cais (if not cais itself, I can't remember now).

OK, well I am confused now. I thought that since tracert can't really ask
all the routers on the routing to report interroutter times, that what it
displays is the time from where the trace is run to that particular router,
one router after another... that is

the time from where I am to 10 is 10,10,10 MS over three tries

the time from where I am to 11 is 10,10,10 MS

...so probably almost instantaneous but you can't be sure because this
tracert actually ran different tests to get the node 10 numbers than it did
to get the node 11 numbers

the time from where I am to 12 is 80,90,90

... 12 is the first node on the other side of the atlantic.. or that it
takes 70-80ms to cross the atlantic (5-7 times the speed of light time for
that distance, more or less, so not that unreasonable)

and the times to 13, 14, 15, etc don't go up much (implying short node to
node times) till we get to the cais nodes...

or am I misunderstanding how tracert works?

(...) No, you're right. I don't understand how you're confused. If it was my original assertion that it might have been the UUNet network that was causing the suck, well... You got how traceroute works completely right. But something to keep in mind (...) (24 years ago, 1-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
