Routing as Seen from Indian and Pakistan to South Asian Countries
We have PingER monitoring stations in India and Pakistan. Reverse traceroute servers are deployed at PingER monitoring stations which helps us understand how India and Pakistan are connected with different countries of South Asia. India's VSNL provides Internet Service to Nepal and Bhutan, but the strange thing that we noted is that the traffic from India first goes to United Kingdom and then returns to India (passes through two hopes in India Mumbai and Dehli) and the goes to Nepal. And in case of Bhutan it first goes from India to Hong Kong, then returns to India and then eventually goes to Bhutan.
Afghanistan is served by a satellite provider from Germany, so the traffic goes to Germany and satellite it reaches Afghanistan via satellite.
