Description
Typically, having a direct interconnect with a peer in multiple locations would make most traffic ingress and egress via these direct interconnects with that peer. In reality, this is often not the fact; traffic takes asymmetrical paths. Asymmetrical paths can cause latency and performance issues, load-balancing problems, routing instability and poor quality of service. Taking the traffic from a European incumbent to a major hyperscaler as an example, we uncover such asymmetrical paths and provide insight into how these can be remedied.
