Providers with high RTT

Curator — a CDN provider focused on the Russian market. Uses direct peering with major operators at key internet exchange points across Russia. Provides content delivery, DDoS protection, and load balancing services. Clients include online retailers, SaaS platforms, and media projects. Curator relies on direct peering with Russia's largest operators at key internet exchange points.

What is RTT and why measure it?

RTT (Round Trip Time) — the time it takes for a data packet to travel from the user to the CDN node and back. Measured in milliseconds. The lower the RTT, the faster the browser establishes a connection with the server. High RTT is especially critical for:
