Slow Chinese Websites
ResNet Newsletter 2: My ResNet, Student Skills, & Backups (previous) :: Did you work for ResNet? (next)
We have had quite a few reports that some / all sites in China are running really slowly or not at all.
This is not a ResNet, University, JaNet or UK problem.
Above (click to make bigger) is a graph of latency (ms) and packet loss (colour) to jupiter.sina.com.cn we are currently seeing a 550ms ping time and 95% packet loss. This is not good. The packet loss is generally happening in the link between USA and China - and obviously we have no control over that!
This page will be updated when we have more info.
Update Tuesday @ 8am
Below is the new latency graph. It shows that there are still problems, again totally out of our control - sorry.
Update Thrusday @ 11am
It seems that the packet loss today has dropped below 25% which is much better than the 95% we have been seeing. Sites are loading much more reliably now
