Also interesting to see (middle map above) is that the connection from NUST to the DSL site (blue line) is much less than that to the physically closer NUST host. This host (lo-0-gw.dsl.net.pk(203.82.63.254) is connected via a Micronet broadband connection rather than most of the other hosts which are connected via Nayatel to the PERN backbone. Nayatel in turn owns Micronet. Theroute from SEECS to the DSL host goes via Nayatel as far as we can trace it. This results in lower minimum RTTThus the link from SEECS to PERN which goes via Nayatael may go to a Nayatel Point of Presence at the same location as the DSL host and then to the PERN metroplitan ring. This may be the cause for the lower minimum RTT to the DSL host.
Archive, analysis site
IN 2010, a second instance of the SLAC archive-analysis site was set up at NUST. This provides backup for data and access, and improved performance for Pakistani users. The NUST hosts are are connected (see the traceroute) to PERN via Nayatel.
