The summarized results shown in the graphs above feature interesting conclusions. We observed that average RTT values for different sites in China vary significantly, however the minimum RTT values tend to agree with those of their peers which is understandable. Also, the difference between the minimum RTT and average RTT is significantly large for most of the sites. Additionally there are large variations in the jitter values for these sites. These observations allow us to conclude that there is considerable amount of congestion within China. Also there are huge packet losses (5% - 17%) for few sites as shown in the figure above - Unreachability, Loss and Throughput - where as the rest show nearly acceptable results of less than 2.5% losses and similar (derived TCP) throughput values of approximately 900 Kbps. It is important to note that the sites with large variations in jitter and large difference between avg. RTT and min. RTT also show significantly less throughput, and more packet losses as compared to their peers.
