Ping from our Novi Travnik node (AS200698, Globalhost) sends ICMP echo requests and measures round-trip time. Baseline RTTs from this location over normal routing: Belgrade ~14–18 ms, Zagreb ~10–14 ms, Vienna ~28–34 ms, Frankfurt ~42–50 ms, Amsterdam ~55–65 ms, London ~70–80 ms, New York ~150–170 ms. These figures assume the target is reachable via Globalhost's standard transit. Targets peered primarily through BH Telecom may add 5–10 ms due to the indirect peering path through Belgrade or Vienna.

Bosnia is not a common source location for latency testing, but it represents a meaningful user base for Balkan-focused services. Running a ping from our Bosnian node alongside nodes in Serbia and Croatia gives you a triangulated view of South-Central European connectivity. If your server shows 100 ms to Bosnia but 20 ms to Serbia, the most likely explanation is that your CDN or hosting provider does not have direct peering into the Bosnian transit ecosystem and is routing via a distant PoP.

ICMP filtering at transit routers is common. If our Bosnian ping shows elevated RTT while a TCP check to the same host returns a lower handshake time, the discrepancy is almost certainly ICMP deprioritization rather than genuine path latency. Globalhost does not filter outbound ICMP on its commercial network, so the probe packets leave cleanly — any anomaly originates on the path or at the destination.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is a landlocked Balkan country whose internet infrastructure is split across two administrative entities — the Federation of BiH and Republika Srpska — each with partially separate ISP ecosystems. The national IX, BIXP (Bosnia Internet Exchange Point), is located in Sarajevo and provides domestic peering to reduce the volume of traffic that must transit through Vienna, Frankfurt, or Belgrade. Our probe node is located in Novi Travnik, hosted by Globalhost (AS200698), a regional commercial provider.

International transit from Bosnia primarily exits via Croatia (Zagreb) and Serbia (Belgrade). The Sarajevo-to-Zagreb path runs around 8–12 ms over direct links, and Sarajevo-to-Belgrade is approximately 12–16 ms. These two cities are the main upstream transit hubs for Bosnian ISPs. From Belgrade or Zagreb, onward transit to Frankfurt adds roughly 20–25 ms, making the total Sarajevo-to-Frankfurt path typically land in the 38–50 ms range depending on which upstream carrier is used.

The major ISPs in Bosnia include BH Telecom (AS8804), which operates the largest fixed-line network in the Federation, and Telekom Srpske (AS8773) serving Republika Srpska. Globalhost (AS200698) operates as a commercial hosting and transit provider with a presence primarily in central Bosnia. Other regional operators include United Media (formerly Telemach) and smaller local ISPs. Transit is predominantly sourced from RETN (AS9002), Cogent (AS174), and Telekom Srbija (AS8400).

Bosnia's IX development is limited compared to neighboring countries. BIXP in Sarajevo has fewer members than exchanges in Belgrade or Zagreb, which means a significant portion of domestic inter-ISP traffic still routes internationally before returning. This inefficiency is visible as elevated intra-country latency on some ISP pairs — two Bosnian endpoints may route through Vienna and back, adding 40–60 ms compared to what a well-peered domestic exchange would deliver. Investment in BIXP membership has grown slowly but the gap remains.

Our probe in Novi Travnik on AS200698 (Globalhost) reflects routing conditions on a mid-tier Bosnian commercial ISP. Globalhost has transit peering with several Balkan providers, giving it good regional connectivity to Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia. For checks targeting EU-based infrastructure, expect results representative of a Balkan commercial hosting network rather than a consumer broadband connection. Consumer ISPs in Bosnia may show slightly different routing — particularly those primarily peering through BH Telecom's national backbone.
