title: How do I ping the original webpage, bypassing CDN?
body: <p>I live in Warsaw, Poland. I am pinging any US webpage (like www.nba.com):</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ ping www.nba.com
  PING a1570.gd.akamai.net (213.155.152.161) 56(84) bytes of data.
  64 bytes from 213-155-152-161.customer.teliacarrier.com (213.155.152.161): icmp_req=1 ttl=58 time=6.90 ms
  64 bytes from 213-155-152-161.customer.teliacarrier.com (213.155.152.161): icmp_req=2 ttl=58 time=5.68 ms
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Time that I receive is around 7-10 ms, while distance from Poland to US and back (packages go forth and back) is around 16000 km (16*10^6 m). c=3*10^8 m/s. Distance/c = 0,05 s = 50ms.</p>
  
  <p>So I suppose, that some webpages are cached on some other server e.g. in Western Europe (5ms, means less than 750km from my place). How than I can ping the original, US webpage then?</p>
  
  <p>Or did I miss something?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT1: Ok, I missed, I am pinging actually a1570.gd.akamai.net in London, but distance is still too far (>750km). Is it a ping time counter error?</p>
