As per notification from Bangladesh Educational Board, SSC Result 2008 will be published on 26th June, 2008 at 17:00 BDT +0600.

I am monitoring the performance of web server used to published this result of SSC 2008 Exam . It seems Bangladesh Education Board are now trying to use 'Distributed Web Server' method by using total 3 physical server for publishing Result of SSC 2008 exam. I run few small test to check reliability of this SSC 2008 result publishing system. Bellow is the IP address and Physical Location of each server:

Host Name: www.educationboard.gov.bd
SSC 2008 Result URL: http://www.educationboard.gov.bd/

IP Address: 209.51.194.162
Location: XLHost Inc, Columbus, OH, USA

IP Address: 69.72.149.192
Location: FORTRESSITX Inc, NY, USA

IP Address: 174.133.198.178
Location: ThePlanet Inc, Texas, USA


From the view of geographic location, major query for result will generat from Internet Network of Bangladesh, which is connected via BTTB Submarine Cable. Education Board should choose at least 2 server on BTTB Server Co-location center for better and swift performance. Didn't they understand this simple thing?!

Other interesting thing is the path of servers from Bangladesh Internet Network. Major Internet traffic pass through SingTEL, a Singapore Based Carrier. Other traffic get transit via Italy. So ALL 3 server need at least 10 hop from Bangladesh.

Average Network Latency Between Bangladesh Internet Network and Education Board Server given bellow:

209.51.194.162 (XLHost Inc):

40000 packets transmitted, 40000 received, 0% packet loss.
