An HTTP check from Novi Travnik sends a full GET request and records the HTTP status code, response time broken down into DNS, connect, and TTFB components, and whether the connection completed. For services using CDN with geographic edge selection, the Globalhost (AS200698) source IP will determine which PoP is selected. Bosnian IPs are typically classified under Balkan or Eastern Europe geo-zones by most CDN providers.

CDN edge selection for Bosnia varies by provider. Cloudflare typically routes Bosnian traffic to its Vienna or Frankfurt edges, sometimes Belgrade when available. Akamai may use Zagreb or Vienna. Fastly tends to land on Frankfurt. If your CDN is correctly configured for the region, HTTP response times from our Bosnian node should be under 100 ms for cached content. Uncached requests to an origin in Frankfurt typically complete in 120–150 ms total for a small HTML response.

A non-200 response from Bosnia while other Central European nodes return 200 may indicate geo-blocking, overly broad firewall rules covering Bosnian IP ranges, or a WAF signature triggering on the Globalhost source address. AS200698 is a legitimate commercial Bosnian provider and should not be blocked by standard WAF rulesets. If you see 403 or 503 responses specifically from our Bosnian node, compare against our Serbian and Croatian nodes to determine whether the block targets Bosnia specifically or a broader Balkan IP block.

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.
