Routing in Asia is very unpredictable. The larger the distance, the higher
the chances of the request being routed via the US. In our tests, Malaysia
was consistently routed via Japan to Korea, whereas as Indonesia was usually
routed via the west coast of America. PNG has only satellite links, ping
times to it were largely independent of the source. The commercial ISPs in
Australia gave a slightly faster RTT to yaseo than to pmtpa, but the
academic network, AARNET, consistently routed via America. Our tests for
India showed unstable routing. Sometimes pmtpa was faster, sometimes knams,
sometimes yaseo.
As a result, I don't think we should move anything south of Malaysia, or
anything west of China, to yaseo
