github.com for me returns 140.82.121.3 which routes fine in the uk, returning from

lb-140-82-121-3-fra.github.com

which from the distance and name I would assume is a frankfurt based load balancer. I get there from BT -> Zayo

I can reach that IP from Washington too, but github returns 140.82.114.3 and 140.82.114.4 from DNS at 1.1.1.1 on a Level3 handoff in Washington

Spot checks around the place show the first returned IP as pingable across the world

Bangkok, Dhaka, Jakarta - 20.205.243.166

Seoul - 20.200.245.247

Nairobi - 20.87.225.212

Kabul, Dakar, Amman, Amman, Cairo - 140.82.121.3

Moscow, Riga, Istanbul - 140.82.121.4

Miami - 140.82.114.3




Same from Finland, and same route. (Except my ISP instead of BT).


They do have other peering -- that IP from my ISP in Jakarta routes onto Hurricane Electric in Singapore and then to github. From Sao Paulo I go to Atlanta, USA, then to Paris and Frankfurt on twelve99/Telia
