SUBSIM server issue? USING "TRACEROUTE"

[Ships-R-Us]

At 10:04gmt 1/18 or 2:04am PST it appeared that Subsim.com had a problem. I could not log on. I was previously logged on prior to that time and after 90 minutes gave up. During that time I was able to go to the SUBSIM.com store and nowhere else. The problem occured imediately after sending Jimbuna a "pm", as he had just logged on for the day a brief time before the time mentioned above.
AH?... Jimbuna tumbled the site?.....Maybe Europe was coming alive and all the new logins slowed things down, If so that is good to see that people enjoy SUBSIM with morning coffee or whatever they drink over there.

Anyway, for fun I did a traceroute to the home of SUBSIM, and everything was fine, right to Pearland, TX to Neals ip of 174.133.66.250.

The road from my home goes to my local server, Seattle, Denver, Dallas, ant to Neals place.

I am interested in two things. 1. Did anyone experience problems at the time mentioned?..........2. I am interested in viewing traceroute logs from several places in Europe to see if most of Europe jumps off the continent at the same location before entering the US, as well as the US entry point. Is their a "common" European hub that traffic passes through? I won't get into "MAN IN THE MIDDLE" stuff at this time, but I believe that
in certain third world countrys and perhaps the US for outgoing and incoming traffic it is possible to determine by a time delay in the routing that the traffic is being examined. That is another subject and not the intent of this thread.

I have posted my tracelog and instructions for assistance. If people from all the various countrys post a tracelog here we may see some interesting patterns........Ships...
