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 -- Tim Starling
