Traceroute from Cybercon to major Internet backbones

Public network tools, such as traceroute, allow you to see how a packet is delivered from a server or router to another server or an end user's workstation. The traceroute results will show how many stops (hops) the packet takes and at what speed (in terms of milliseconds). The smaller number of milliseconds, the better (faster).

Here are real life traceroute results from Cybercon's data center to major Internet backbones. You will see less hops (stops) to get to each Internet backbone, and each one at a super-fast speed. If your servers, webpages, and applications are hosted in Cybercon's data center, the packets will be delivered to most users at a much faster speed.

If you have a Unix server, you can do a traceroute yourself with the command:
traceroute www.level3.net
under your Unix shell.

If you have a Windows server, you can do a traceroute yourself with the command:
tracert www.level3.net
under the DOS prompt.
