I also noticed that the state Virginia was 'down' at the moment.

The Internet traffic report is a site which maintains the speed and up time for the internet backbone throughout the world. Its use is as a referene tool in the same way that you might check the traffic report on the Interstates/in your town.

Packet loss shows congestion. By analogy, you use packet loss information to analyze where ‘accidents’ of one type or another are occurring or have occurred.

There are times when people ask why FR is so slow. The hubs, routers, state backbone sites and integrity of networks each contribute to speed, as you know. This and the health of FR servers may be impacted by the health of the network nodes. The cause can be Denial of Service attacks/swarms of people trying to get at sites; these can be part of a pattern.

I post it as a reference for you all, too. Sorry to not explain more. Someone with more knowledge of the technical specifics can jump in here.

I have noticed slow response times on and off today at various sites. A couple of times I have been notified that FR was unavailable. After a couple of repeated clicks I was able to access FR. FWIW.

Virginia huh? Lack of bandwidth?

I’m visualising the entire Obama staff holed up in the WH situation room.

Surrounded by streaming video feeds from ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, Headline News, and every liberal media website in America. Blackberries all logged onto syncophant media sites.

A wide table on one side of the room, with unwashed leftists in a row, trolling Palin-bashing threads on FR, but mostly posting endless anti-Rush Limbaugh screeds at DUH. One after the other.

Playing and replaying on monitors around the room, streaming video of every in the tank, fawning suck-up piece our so-called media are running 24/7. While everyone in the room hums the tune to kumbaya in unison, tilting back and forth slowly murmering at the screens, as if one:

“Monitors monitors on the wall ... who’s the fairest administration of them all??”.

What you are saying is Vienna is the end of the internet?
(Sorry, corny, I know)
Thanks for the link. Even though I do not understand it, it is a good reference.

However ... this report seems actually to be measuring traffic and speeds to specific sites. If this site shows some place in West Virginia is down, it doesn't mean that West Virginia is down. It just means that particular site is down.

For example, this Internet traffic report site is currently showing that the site brdr-dmz-uunet.simsware.com is down, which is a site just down the road from me in Plano, Texas. Now it happens that other simsware.com sites are up, and I am confident that Texas is doing just fine. Apparently that one brdr-dmz-uunet computer at Simsware is offline, which makes no difference whatsoever to me.
