Back to reality

After more than a week of latencies that rarely dropped below 80ms and usually ran to well over a second I am finally home and latencies you can measure in microseconds.

I wonder if all of Ρόδος island is like that - perhaps some odd backhaul. No idea how to find out.


Someone said follow the cable? This was taken on the road between Rhodes and Lindos.

      Ah, because ping is stupid and is a separate command for IPv6. Personally I would have made ping pick 6 or 4, and had a separate ping -4 and ping -6 for the specific options.
