UK -> Italy -> UK ?

Datahop is a UK company...

Must just be higher latencies on gauthier then, switched to gandhi and it's fine again.

Don't let the TLD of a host name fool you into thinking that the server/device is based in that country. In other words, just because hop 8 shows ".it" in the name doesn't necessarily mean it's based in Italy.

According to this, it's part of an assignment at LINX
