ArcticWolf Posted October 7, 2005 CID Share Posted October 7, 2005 I gotta ask..is less ping time in (ms) better then less hops to a DNS? Ex: 216.254.92.2 is 10 hops away from me with a ping time of 14ms or 148.xxx.xxx is higher at 90ms but only 8 hops away ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTB Posted October 7, 2005 CID Share Posted October 7, 2005 Less ping is better. With more hops the general ping will be higher, as as the data has to go further away from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok let me try and understand this even though it takes me 10 hops to get to 216.254.92.2 is my DNS server with ping results of 14,14,14,14 is faster than 148.xxx.xxx is higher at 90ms but only 8 hops away because the 90ms is slower. Makes sense I guess ....ever though I am 2 hops furthur then 148.xxx.xxx DNS ... the time for me to get to those 8 hops I can get there much quicker at 216.254.92.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostmaster Posted October 7, 2005 CID Share Posted October 7, 2005 There is probably a slower link on that 8 hop DNS. Better to go with the lowest latency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
