MTR Traceroute from Bosnia and Herzegovina

MTR from our Novi Travnik node runs continuous per-hop latency and packet loss measurements toward your destination. It reveals the full routing path from AS200698 (Globalhost) outward, identifying where latency accumulates and where loss begins. Bosnian routes typically exit Globalhost's network within 1–2 hops, then pass through one of its upstream transit providers before reaching the target via Zagreb, Belgrade, or Vienna.

A typical MTR from Novi Travnik to a Frankfurt-hosted target: 1–2 hops inside Globalhost adding 1–4 ms, then a transit hop toward Zagreb or Belgrade around 10–16 ms, then onward transit through Vienna around 28–34 ms, arriving at Frankfurt in approximately 44–52 ms. If you see a large latency jump at an intermediate hop — for example from 15 ms to 60 ms — followed by stable latency at subsequent hops, that specific router is either geographically distant or routing to an unexpected transit path.

Loss at a single hop that does not persist to subsequent hops is ICMP rate-limiting at that router — this is expected behaviour and does not indicate real packet loss for TCP or UDP application traffic. Persistent loss from a hop onward through the destination is a genuine fault. MTR from Bosnia is particularly useful when Bosnian users report inconsistent connectivity — a ping result alone will not isolate the failing hop, but a 60-second MTR run from our node will show exactly where on the path the problem is occurring.

Bosnia and Herzegovina Network Infrastructure

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.
