Visualizing these numbers is a good idea, but this is a terrible execution.
- The line segments go in different directions, making it unnecessarily difficult to visually determine relative lengths
- The packet send from CA to the Netherlands and back to CA is split over many lines, making it even more difficult
- The data is split across multiple maps, making it nearly impossible to get a good sense of, say, just how much longer the packet roundtrip takes than a memory reference.
- It's nearly impossible to see the line segment for main memory reference
- Having the lines overlaid on a map is more distracting than anything else
