The context:

Six hosts across worldwide were traced over week from UK. Ten thousands of lines to be parsed and analysed.

And then I try to find any clue of geographical information and path - from where it jumps where.

Then after Austria or Germany(each time different) I have mysterious 62.208.72.6 which in GEO LOC gives me Falklands Islands (which is where my target host is by the way, but before target host I still have 5 other nodes)

Then I do whois for this 62.208.72.6

route: 62.208.0.0/16

descr: DE-ECRC-62-208-0-0

origin: AS1273

mnt-by: CW-EUROPE-GSOC

Why it says Europe now? How to understand this enigma code? I want to confirm more or less whether this is in europe or in falkland islands? But it can't be in FK yet as after next two hosts I get New York?

Could you also tell me what does this CW-EUROPE-GSOC abbreviation means. (To preserve your sanity better not google, unless you already know it :-D)

And the actual whois for the destination/target host, which completely destroys my head:

route: 195.248.193.0/24

descr: HORIZON

descr: Cable and Wireless Falkland Islands

descr: Via Cable and Wireless Communications UK

origin: AS5551

How is it Via Cable and Wireless Communications UK if two nodes before I was in New York?

Thank you guys,
