Hi All,
I have been working on a visualisation of latency on a network. I found an interesting
dataset with latency information of 140 cities around the world.
In the visualisation I show different metrics regarding latency such as from each city
which other has the best/worst latency; cities that geographically are close but have high
latency; far cities that have low latency; and average latency for each city.
When visualising the worst latency for each city I found that, for this network (at
least), Valencia and in a minor extent Nairobi represent the worst endpoint for
connections (in terms of latency). Also in the visualisation of far cities with low
latency, Newmarket in Canada and Toledo in Spain concentrate the best endpoint for
connections coming from Europe and North-America respectively.
Here a couple of screenshots:
