Can someone @ZoS explain why we are routing through netherlands for the NA server?

I don't understand why it hits the akamai servers then gets shunted off to the netherlands. I think someone at ZoS needs to get in touch with akamai and get this problem sorted asap. I don't know what department deals with this so if anyone reading this knows please tag them.1zeb0ic.jpg

    Short answer is that a network exchange exists in that location that is either a main hub for distribution or the easiest access point to cross networks. Unfortunately the choice of hub largely comes down to economics, but it may not be zos's choice but rather their isp or your isp deciding to use that hub.

    I don't think it is an isp issue it has something to do with akamai, as using a VPN would route traffic through that and return a better route but it is not and as soon as it hits akamai it directs it to the netherlands and then back to NA.

    I see what you're saying. iirc, akamai is CDN which pays ISP's for hosting its servers, perhaps something is amiss along that network path. We had weird internet problems across the world last night too.
