How far away from a server are you?
« on: March 17, 2009, 07:58:53 AM »
http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/visual-tracert/

Enter the server's ip address in the box, select proxy trace, and it will give you a rough representation of where you are and where the server is and how you are connected.  Unfortunately, even though this visual tool is neat, it stil lroutes through the tool's host.

It doesn't.  It just shows the earth station for the satellite then the isp connectivity.

It takes 14 hops just to get to yougetsignal.com for me. This can be wildly inaccurate, because part of the path to yougetsignal.net may not necessarily (and probably isn't) the same path to the server.

It isnt the same path as if you were to do a tracert from your ip to the server ip.

BUt it's pretty neat being able to see where, geographically, the packets go.
