Hi there, this is probably an off-topic question to this list. Sorry for this, but I don't know who else to ask or where to look, therefore I hope that my question is read by an experienced network admin of a large company network or an otherwise experienced user who can answer my question.
Ok, I'm trying to contact a host across the Internet. The connection is very bad, packets get lost with a percentage of up to 30%. I traced the route and found the point where trouble is probably caused. If I ping a certain host/router (let's call it B), LOTS of packets get lost. If I ping the router one hop nearer to me (named A) only a small, negligible percentage gets lost. Who do I contact? The admin of A or B? How do I find out who is responsible? Is it ok to use the tech-c that I look up using whois?
