Traceroute to the V4 addresses of the various backbone sites and see
who is closest in number of hops and has the lowest latency and/or
packet loss. You might want to do your traceroutes during the day,
rather than at night, or sample at a couple times during peak and
non-peak hours for your timezone, and the timezones of the backbone
sites.
