Hi,

First of all, I hope my post are is posted in the right section . Below are something i got confused hope you one can help.

My business partner 's IP server are in: Sanjose, CA , and I am looking for a datacenter which give the least latency to that IP. I found 2 . 1st datcenter is in San Francisco, CA . 2nd data center is in Newyork.

Then I do the ping from each datacenter to the my partner's IP.

1st datcenter's result: 75ms

2nd datacenter's result: 2ms

I 've done multiple time, 2nd datacenter always give better result. Now my question is:

• Isn't the 1st datacenter suppose to give better result, since their location are closer ? How come the result produce different, what is the accurate way to check latency ?

Thanks
