Re: Keynote/Boardwatch Results

[pete () missing com]

Below you might find more information about the server locations which
Keynote uses for their connectivity data.  The first three columns you
can find for yourself at the URL: http://www.keynote.com/kn/agents.html
and the fourth column I added based on digging into either who the IP
block was assigned/swipped to or (if that failed) via a traceroute.

The following list is Keynote's Agent Network locations.

I am making the assumption that since they have the following network
for use in their other Keynote services and since it seems clear that these
cities are the same list of cities it is likely that these are the same
machines being used, or at least same networked facility,  for the
Backbone Bandwidth tests which they are using and as of yet have only
provided city names.
