Satcommlee Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) Hi, I'm puzzled by one thing.. I have had a few issues with google lately, ie: being slow to load etc.. But I have looked into it and discovered the IP address for www.google.com resolves to an IP address owned by CAT telecom. (Even when using googles own DNS servers) C:\Users\Lee>nslookup www.google.com Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com Address: 8.8.8.8 Non-authoritative answer: Name: www.google.com Addresses: 2404:6800:4001:c01::6a 61.19.1.118 61.19.1.88 61.19.1.104 61.19.1.119 61.19.1.103 61.19.1.114 61.19.1.123 61.19.1.109 61.19.1.93 61.19.1.98 61.19.1.113 61.19.1.84 61.19.1.89 61.19.1.108 61.19.1.94 61.19.1.99 All this address range points to CAT telecom (Thailand) 61.19.1.118 - Geo Information IP Address 61.19.1.118 Host 61.19.1.118 Location TH, Thailand City -, - - Organization CAT TELECOM Data Comm. Dept, Intrenet Office ISP CAT Telecom public company Ltd Now I may be paranoid here but when I try similar test on my mobile using AIS, it gets pointed Google IP address's? I would like to see if any fellow board members can concur these results by using the command nslookup www.google.com My ISP is True and I am on DOCSIS3.0 I have a horrible feeling Big Brother is watching me!!

Chicog Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Why don't you try a traceroute ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpcoe Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I'm also using True DOCSIS (cable) internet and out of curiosity tried a tracert: C:\>tracert www.google.com Tracing route to www.google.com [74.125.135.103] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 10 ms 8 ms 8 ms 10.20.xx.xx 2 12 ms 11 ms 13 ms 10.92.238.237 3 18 ms 69 ms 16 ms 119-46-119-14.static.asianet.co.th [119.46.119.14] 4 15 ms 12 ms 12 ms 119-46-119-57.static.asianet.co.th [119.46.119.57] 5 13 ms 12 ms 11 ms 61-91-213-225.static.asianet.co.th [61.91.213.225] 6 17 ms 12 ms 13 ms 61-91-213-35.static.asianet.co.th [61.91.213.35] 7 14 ms 13 ms 17 ms 61-91-213-81.static.asianet.co.th [61.91.213.81] 8 14 ms 18 ms 16 ms tig-net242-49.trueintergateway.com [113.21.242.49] 9 35 ms 41 ms 38 ms 72.14.215.181 10 38 ms 39 ms 39 ms 209.85.242.244 11 41 ms 39 ms 39 ms 209.85.250.237 12 * * * Request timed out. 13 37 ms 36 ms 39 ms ni-in-f103.1e100.net [74.125.135.103] Trace complete.Seems to do a bit of bouncing around within Thailand, but eventually finds its way to Google in Mountain View CA, USA.

AyG Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 This is perfectly normal. Google has something called "Google Global Cache". Google keeps local copies of its web pages at selected ISPs so that the pages can be served "in country", rather than having to go all the way across the ocean (unless, of course, the page contents have changed, in which case the request is passed on to Google central). This saves on international bandwidth costs for the ISP and improves response times for the user. Google Global Cache is described further at https://peering.google.com/about/faq.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turgid Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I'm using True for Mobile and Home internet. I had several Google searches for a reputable Thai company divert me to a gambling site this morning using a dolphin browser on Android. The same search and links in Android Firefox take me to the correct site. Ive also had several periods of being unable to connect to Thai visa both from my mobile and Desktop PC in the last 24 hours. But its not the normal site not found error but some weird caching error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyG Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/visual-tracert/ Sorry, that website's absolute <deleted>. It doesn't do a proper tracert - every route shown is via yougetsignal.com, and bears no relationship to the actual route used in real life. To do it properly go to a command prompt/DOS shell/terminal session (or whatever it's called in your particular operating system), then type tracert or traceroute (depends on operating system) followed by the target website address. E.g. >tracert www.google.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satcommlee Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 I done the traceroute, directed me straight to CAT servers.. I did not get the same result as the previous poster, it did not get to the true internet gateway. It went straight from Asianet to CAT. I'm not at home now to replicate it.
