...
- ASN = Autonomous System Number
- TM = Telekom Malaysia Berhad
- myix.gov.my is the Malaysia Internet eXchange
- The 6th hop is where the traffic is handed over to the ISP.
- >n means the target host never responded, n is the last hop recorded
- The min RTT is the minimum of the 3 RTTs measured at each hop.
- mschosting AKA ExaBytes cloud, looks like the end host may be at cloud service provider rather than the University site. It also appears that mschosting.com name is up or sale.
- The routing is very strange for www.miu.edu.my. This leads to long RTTs. I believe the traceroutes were made in mid to late December 2012. If so, they are not reflected in the UNIMAS to MIU pingtable.pl results. Maybe the routes between www.miu.edu.my and pinger.uniumas.my and the host used to make the traceroute measurements are different. This bears fruther investigation.
- Only 7 out of 25 Malaysian targets use MYREN as their initial ISP. how come? Is Jaring or TM part of MYREN or vice versa.
- What is the relationship between MYREN, TM and Jaring (in December December 2006, the Ministry of Finance of Malaysia officially took over JARING from MIMOS Berhad)
The 2010 map of MYREN seen below may help in understanding the routing. However, the UNIMAS links is here reported at 10Mbps, whereas it is 100Mbps. Also Sabah, Bintulu, Sibu don't show up in the map.
