Hello, I've heard a rumour that Hetzner datacenter is leasing Netdirekt's bandwidth, could anyone confirm please? By tracerouting hetzner.de, netdirekt.de, and two servers (one placed in Netdirekt and another in Hetzner) I can't find anything similar (except russian gateways): kai@zuze:~> lft -s 12345 -d 80 netdirekt.de Tracing .........************.........T TTL LFT trace to ad150.unix-server.com (217.20.112.80):80/tcp ** [neglected] no reply packets received from TTL 1 2 10.1.141.145 177.1/105.0ms ** [neglected] no reply packets received from TTLs 3 through 4 5 yota-msk-gw.gblnet.ru (109.239.134.1) 101.0/59.8ms 6 msk-spb-te-gw4.gblnet.ru (94.124.183.242) 206.1/109.6ms 7 94.124.182.193 228.6/119.8ms 8 ams-sth-te-gw.gblnet.ru (94.124.182.222) 167.6/174.9ms 9 ams-fra-te-gw1.gblnet.ru (94.124.182.198) 180.0/99.8ms 10 decix.edpnet.net (80.81.192.139) 194.8/310.1ms 11 77.109.91.126.static.edpnet.net (77.109.91.126) 173.5/204.8ms ** [neglected] no reply packets received from TTL 12 13 [target open] ad150.unix-server.com (217.20.112.80):80 150.3/203.6ms kai@zuze:~> lft -s 12345 -d 80 hetzner.de Tracing ........*.***.********.........T TTL LFT trace to www.hetzner.de (213.133.107.227):80/tcp ** [neglected] no reply packets received from TTL 1 2 10.1.141.145 91.7/173.8ms ** [neglected] no reply packets received from TTLs 3 through 5 6 yota-msk-gw.gblnet.ru (109.239.134.1) 94.6/125.2ms 7 msk-spb-te-gw4.gblnet.ru (94.124.183.242) 185.8ms 8 94.124.182.193 134.3/164.1ms 9 ams-sth-te-gw.gblnet.ru (94.124.182.222) 164.4/164.8ms 10 ams-fra-te-gw1.gblnet.ru (94.124.182.198) 138.8/169.9ms 11 decix2-gw.hetzner.de (80.81.193.164) 181.1/176.5ms 12 hos-bb1.juniper1.fs.hetzner.de (213.239.240.242) 253.9/168.4ms 13 hos-tr2.ms-ex3k1.rz11.hetzner.de (213.239.236.83) 187.8/179.9ms 14 [target open] www.hetzner.de (213.133.107.227):80 130.7/151.3ms kai@zuze:~> lft -s 12345 -d 80 ns Tracing ......************.....T TTL LFT trace to ns (188.72.255.99):80/tcp ** [neglected] no reply packets received from TTL 1 2 10.1.141.145 95.1/76.3ms ** [neglected] no reply packets received from TTLs 3 through 4 5 213.33.166.241.sovintel.ru (213.33.166.241) 104.3/181.5ms 6 mx01.Frankfurt.gldn.net (194.186.157.138) 136.3/205.0ms 7 decix.edpnet.net (80.81.192.139) 179.0/180.6ms 8 77.109.91.126.static.edpnet.net (77.109.91.126) 148.0/139.8ms ** [neglected] no reply packets received from TTL 9 10 [target open] ns (188.72.255.99):80 144.2ms kai@zuze:~> lft -s 12345 -d 80 rh Tracing ........*.***********.........T TTL LFT trace to rh (178.63.47.150):80/tcp ** [neglected] no reply packets received from TTL 1 2 10.1.141.145 74.4/78.6ms ** [neglected] no reply packets received from TTLs 3 through 5 6 yota-msk-gw.gblnet.ru (109.239.134.1) 90.0/92.5ms 7 msk-spb-te-gw5.gblnet.ru (94.124.183.238) 136.7/185.0ms 8 spb-ams-te-gw5.gblnet.ru (94.124.182.209) 184.9/165.0ms 9 ams-fra-te-gw1.gblnet.ru (94.124.182.198) 176.0/185.2ms 10 decix2-gw.hetzner.de (80.81.193.164) 144.4/186.0ms 11 hos-bb1.juniper1.fs.hetzner.de (213.239.240.242) 165.0/174.1ms 12 hos-tr2.ex3k6.rz12.hetzner.de (213.239.228.167) 209.8/174.6ms 13 [target open] rh (178.63.47.150):80 163.4/234.9ms So is it true or just a rumour?
