Hello Bj”rn,

On Wednesday November 02 2011 16:31, you wrote to Andre Grueneberg:

For what it is worth, here is mine:   (POP  nlede01)

And for my HE tunnel   (teminating at AMSIX)

And ping yours in sweden:

Almost three time as long as either of mine.


Note: I pinged from my router, not from one of the end system. So that the latency in my local network was noy included.



Cheers, Michiel
