Transit and Peering: How your requests reach GitHub
- nik736 9y agoThis is btw the ASN of GitHub: https://bgp.he.net/AS36459#_asinfo https://bgp.he.net/AS36459#_asinfo From the peering tab I would guess that they use Telia, NTT, Verizon and Level3 as transit providers, the others seem to be regular peerings. Transit-wise it seems to be a good mix. They are very focused on the NA market, seems to be Europe is not really relevant or important for them, otherwise they would operate a PoP there and peer at the biggest internet exchanges of the world (DE-CIX, AMS-IX, LINX) to improve their network quality.

- nik736 9y agoLocation doesn't matter as much as your ISP. If GitHub would have a peering with your ISP or'd buy transit from them the speed would be way better, even from Europe to the west coast.
