Looking at the 120 days graphs it is seen that there were increased losses (increase in yellow background colors) starting around 2012-09-20 in both cases. More recently (see the 3 days plots) these increased for a while to over 20% (more red background colors).
The host names were unresolvable at 2100 11/29/2012, so we could not try a traceroute. PingER does collect traceroutes on a daily basis. The traceroutes for Nov. 28th indicate both host have the same route until hop (there is no information beyond this hop). The route passes from SLAC (in Menlo Park, CA) to ESnet (in Sunnyvale) to Equinix onto BTN in London and ending at iNET in Syria.
