I created a VM instance at East-4 (Ashburn, Northern Virginia, USA) calling APIs.
When I tried:
curl -s https://www.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace, it shows
fl=27f53
h=www.cloudflare.com
ip=35.236..
ts=1557063064.615
visit_scheme=https
uag=curl/7.63.0
colo=ATL
http=http/1.1
loc=US
tls=TLSv1.3
sni=plaintext
warp=off
shows that I am using ATL, instead of IAD.
How could I resolve this?
You would have to contact your ISP. They determine routing to Cloudflare networks.
What is the ping? GCloud peers with CF, so ping is probably <5ms (even to ATL).
Just spun my own instance and the ping is ~15ms, not great compared to Akamai:
$ ping cloudtest.chmonyweb.com.edgesuite.net
PING a1145.q.akamai.net (204.237.142.210) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 204.237.142.210 (204.237.142.210): icmp_seq=1 ttl=56 time=1.11 ms
64 bytes from 204.237.142.210 (204.237.142.210): icmp_seq=2 ttl=56 time=0.774 ms
$ ping Cloudflare.com
PING Cloudflare.com (198.41.214.162) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 198.41.214.162: icmp_seq=1 ttl=53 time=15.5 ms
64 bytes from 198.41.214.162: icmp_seq=2 ttl=53 time=14.9 ms
See the list of DCs on here:
It might not be peered, or the routing to ATL is backfiring.
I am getting real-time data and from the site, and connecting to IAD would minimize the latency between the data source and Cloudflare as well(Stated by the data provider).
@cheelongchow See the following article for how CF chooses datacenters (or rather, how they can’t directly affect how ‘fast’ or optimized routing is without peering)
https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/cdn/glossary/anycast-network/
This is an issue with the routes between CF and Google, and there’s not much that Cloudflare can do to improve this. 15ms is a reasonable amount of latency for non-peered connections.
It should be interconnected/peered at Ashburn, US, which is IAD I believe.
