These vector graphs are based on the details
of the Access Logs for MiDomane.com. The intermediary domain
locations for the first three graphs could have been selected by
loosely tying a string on the map connecting Russia to the USA and then
drawing an arc with a pencil, the way an ellipse is generated - it
would result in the same overall transmission distance for each
operation.
By the fourth sortie in March 2018 a different technique has emerged to
minimize the scatter of the transmission arrival times: Select the
minimum total distance and minimize the number of Autonymous Systems in
use for the transmissions. In drawing the first
three graphs Moscow was arbitrarily picked as the
origination point - the "Czar 'puter." In the fourth
graph both Moscow and St.Petersburg are represented as the origination
points; there is little to choose between them, and the Czar 'puter
could have been anywhere near a central location to satisfy the
elliptical geometry. Full-size verions of these graphs
can be viewed by first viewing the images in your brower and then
removing the -RS near the end of its URL.
