Very roughly 1/3 of the speed of light. One third is lost to the physical medium it seems. What accounts of the remaining third and how much could be plausibly shaved off of it?

Undersea cable routing. For example there are no undersea cables from Ireland to the European continent. All that traffic has to land in England first and go through a few routers to get sent on its way.
South America and Africa are even worse in that regard. Very few if any direct links.

I think the lines the data goes through are unfortunately not quite as straight as they appear in this visualization. Nor is it light all the way.

Is there any oss software which replicates that ping grid/table where you can have multiple sensors feeding information back to get an overview of latency on your own network?

newbie here, you basically loaded d3.js to draw that globe. Is there a tutorial you followed to create those lines dynamically on the globe? Mind sharing some info on how you made this?

It's cool you can look at 1/2 of the earth and see only one data center and one link. ap-southeast-2 and it's only link is too far away to show.

It shows links to wherever you selected. Select this DC to see the latency between it and everywhere else.

Would be cool if there was a mode that showed YOUR latency to all the datacenters. That is what I assumed this would do initially.
