Phil, The traceroute was done by a coworker in Quebec on April 26, from one of our corporate offices. His IP address was probably 104.163.180.188 at the time. He was tracing one of our endpoints in AWS us-west-2; I do not know which IPs our endpoint had at the time, but one of its current IPs is 52.89.73.31 This is the trace as he described it: Route - #1: 2.7 ms IP Address: 192.168.1.1 Hostname: local TTL: 64 - #2: 34.8 ms IP Address: 10.170.162.238 TTL: 50 - #3: 17.3 ms IP Address: 10.170.192.53 TTL: 250 - #4: 16.7 ms IP Address: 74.116.184.145 Hostname: 0.xe-11-1-0.er1.mtl7.ebox.ca TTL: 249 AS Number: AS1403 AS Name: EBOX Country Name: Canada Country Code: CA Time Zone: America/Toronto Region: Quebec City: Vieux-Saint-Laurent Latitude: 45.475 Longitude: -73.696 - #5: 15.6 ms IP Address: 213.248.76.201 Hostname: motl-b1-link.telia.net TTL: 248 AS Number: AS1299 AS Name: Telia Company AB Country Name: Europe Country Code: EU Time Zone: Europe/Vaduz - #6: 31.8 ms IP Address: 62.115.134.52 Hostname: nyk-bb4-link.telia.net TTL: 247 AS Number: AS1299 AS Name: Telia Company AB Country Name: Europe Country Code: EU Time Zone: Europe/Vaduz - #7: 47.7 ms IP Address: 213.155.136.19 Hostname: chi-b21-link.telia.net TTL: 246 AS Number: AS1299 AS Name: Telia Company AB Country Name: Europe Country Code: EU Time Zone: Europe/Vaduz - #8: 89.7 ms IP Address: 62.115.117.48 Hostname: sea-b1-link.telia.net TTL: 245 AS Number: AS1299 AS Name: Telia Company AB Country Name: Europe Country Code: EU Time Zone: Europe/Vaduz - #9: 90.7 ms IP Address: 62.115.34.102 Hostname: amazon-ic-302508-sea-b1.c.telia.net TTL: 244 AS Number: AS1299 AS Name: Telia Company AB Country Name: Europe Country Code: EU Time Zone: Europe/Vaduz - #10: 86.3 ms IP Address: 52.95.52.80 TTL: 239 Country Name: United States Country Code: US Time Zone: America/Los_Angeles Region: Washington City: Seattle Latitude: 47.634 Longitude: -122.342 - #11: 80.8 ms IP Address: 52.95.52.97 TTL: 241 Country Name: United States Country Code: US Time Zone: America/Los_Angeles Region: Washington City: Seattle Latitude: 47.634 Longitude: -122.342 - #12: 86.1 ms IP Address: 54.239.43.124 TTL: 240 Country Name: United States Country Code: US Time Zone: America/Los_Angeles Region: Washington City: Seattle Latitude: 47.610 Longitude: -122.334 - #13: 94.3 ms IP Address: 52.93.13.12 TTL: 235 Country Name: United States Country Code: US Time Zone: America/Los_Angeles Region: Oregon City: Boardman Latitude: 45.870 Longitude: -119.688 - #14: 86.5 ms IP Address: 52.93.12.249 TTL: 238 Country Name: United States Country Code: US Time Zone: America/Los_Angeles Region: Oregon City: Boardman Latitude: 45.870 Longitude: -119.688 - #15: 111.7 ms IP Address: 52.93.12.140 TTL: 234 Country Name: United States Country Code: US Time Zone: America/Los_Angeles Region: Oregon City: Boardman Latitude: 45.870 Longitude: -119.688 - #16: 92.6 ms IP Address: 52.93.12.173 TTL: 234 Country Name: United States Country Code: US Time Zone: America/Los_Angeles Region: Oregon City: Boardman Latitude: 45.870 Longitude: -119.688 - #17: 88.3 ms IP Address: 52.93.15.217 TTL: 236 Country Name: United States Country Code: US Time Zone: America/Los_Angeles Region: Oregon City: Boardman Latitude: 45.870 Longitude: -119.688 - #18: N/A TTL: 0 We expected that trace to go straight East Coast / West Coast, but instead it went through Europe.

Hey Florin,
Do you have a traceroute showing the issue? FYI, you can test against any of the IPs listed here under US-West-2, they all respond to ICMP requests.

I've seen a few strange instances where IP addresses in the AWS us-west-2 region (Oregon) are routed through Europe if you start the traceroute from some providers in the northern East Coast (Quebec, New York). Any idea what's going on? I assume it's temporary.
Can you be a little bit more vague in your problem description? While ommitting the source networks from where you tried, you still included the destination. The list expects better.
Sorry. Here's one source: 104.163.180.188
