Testing Latency to Core Datacenters

You can test latency and connectivity to Paperspace by running a speed test, a ping test, and a traceroute to the public IPs of your data center:

  • NY2: 184.105.3.1
  • CA1: 64.62.255.1
  • AMS1: 74.82.28.1

Speed test​

Go to https://www.speedtest.net/ and change the server to one close to our data center locations. This can be done by clicking on the Change Server button and then write on the search box Amsterdam for AMS1, California for CA1, and New York for NY2. You may select any option that comes up on the list.

Ping Test​

From a Windows PC open a Command Prompt and run ping and the IP address of the datacenter where your machine is located then hit enter.

From Mac OS and Linux, open the Terminal on your computer and type the command ping and the IP address of the datacenter where your machine is located, and hit enter.

Traceroute Test​

From a Windows PC, open a Command Prompt and run tracert and the IP address of the datacenter where your machine is located, then hit enter.

From a Mac OS or Linux computer, open a Terminal and run traceroute and the IP address of the datacenter where your machine is located then hit enter.
