What the graphs actually display is latency - in which case less is better.
That was confusing for a few moments.
- jimaek 12y agoI guess I will need to fix that. thanks for the feedback
- windexh8er 12y agoLatency is a function of the speed of light - and in most engineering realms "speed" is well understood when using latency as a description. I had no qualms understanding what the creator meant, but I agree that the technical reality is the graph should be defined by "query latency" vs "query speed". Either way, fantastic data! Hopefully this data is trended over daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly rollups. I see monthly when drilling into a provider, but that's all. A rolling annual graph would really tell a true story of how consistent a provider is and that, in itself, is very important when considering outsourcing DNS.
