      We need some latency numbers from around the world. Anyone want to collect some for us?

      Here is the first IP address. A long running ping (hundreds or thousands of pings) would be good, we need the final stats from that:

      • 104.236.119.59
      • 108.61.151.173
      • 172.99.75.133

      We have a good idea on bandwidth, IO, CPU and memory. Network latency is pretty huge.

        I don't see any info on rackspace

        ServerBear is still running there, it got loaded last.

          pings running from CentOS 7 VM doing nothing else in a colo in St Louis. remind me later to kill it and get stats.

                    It is odd to see that DO has the lowest IO rate, but the overall second highest score.

                    Edit: Fixed typo.

                      IOPS it makes sense. Yes, write is slower, but read is crazy fast. Or do I have the read/write reversed? I'm used to seeing things listing read first 😳

                            I wrote the header backwards.

                                Higher is better. I think that IOPS are a small amount, if any, of that score. It's about computational performance.

                                    Whoops, sorry. We just killed the RS node because it is expensive 🙂

                                    You can test that RS ping against mangolassi.it instead. Same location, same node type. Sorry.

                                      With the RS nodes being so expensive... why would you not stand them up on DO or Vultr?

                                      Edit: I mean for production and not tests like this.

                                          Well DO and Vultr were not well known or well tested at the time that most of the RS nodes were created. And RS still offers a lot of features that those do not, like load balancers. But these days, the advantages to RS are fewer and fewer.
