High ping issue
|
I started to have 2x higher ping than I usually have since yesterday. I live in East Russia and for several months I had 110-130 ping to EU servers, but yesterday it suddenly went to 210+. No packet loss, freezing or anything, the connection is stable. I experience the issue only with Path of Exile, cmd ping command returns 106 ping to EU, I played Dota on Frankfurt server and it was okay.
Some picks here: http://imgur.com/a/vNvxM Pic 1 is my usual ping to EU, 106 ms. Pic 2 is my ping in PoE. Issue seems to be only with EU servers, other servers' ping is normal. Pic 3 is tracert to Frankfurt PoE server. Some strange things are happening from step 7. IP is from client.txt file, tracert to fra.login.pathofexile.com returns the same.

Follow that test, do it while you play and run it for 300 seconds or more (while it lags on you) Ancestral Bond. It's a thing that does stuff. -Vipermagi

I already posted tracert, but all right.
 As you see, no spikes, not a single packet lost, ping is reasonably low until it reaches step 6. Last edited by 4_lulz_only#5933 on May 27, 2016, 2:27:28 AM

Why are you using Frankfurt server if you can access the Singapore server instead? Or Aus?
You're going a long ways extra to get to a server which is what is affecting your latency. Just going from Tokyo to Singapore however you jump at least another 80ms. There also looks to possibly be an issue between transtelecom and equinix. You can try getting the trace to the ISP an dsee if they can resolve that peer, but there might not be much they can do if there is a distance to travel there (like underwater, etc). |

" My trace to EU is shorter than to Singapore, its roughly 130ms to 220 ms. " Why does it affect only PoE then? As I said, everything else is working just fine, my ping to Dota EU west server (Frankfurt aswell) didnt change at all, it is 110-120ms. |

Run both MTR traces side-by-side (at the same time) and compare their results.
You can see in the network traces where the average jumps considerably. Also keep in mind that different places on the internet go different routes... similar like you driving to different businesses in a city. Leaving from your house and going to the grocery store likely has a different route than going to the library. The roads leaving your house/neighborhood are likely the same, but once you get to a main road, it likely alters from there. It's quite possible that PoE happens to be the only thing that flows through equinix from your location (main road).. or it could just be a contributing factor. The only way to tell what's going on is to run traces at the same time to both, then compare the results. See where the hops are the same and where they are different. Those are the roads. Edit: And there is NO WAY your trace to Frankfurt is shorter than the trace to Singapore... considering your Frankfurt trace is going THROUGH Singapore and then about 8 more hops afterward.

 As you see, everything is all right as long as its not equinix, I checked several IPs. |

That would explain why PoE is different... that 4th hop, it changes roads.
I still think you'd get MUCH better results if you changed your gateway to Singapore though (manually type 'Singapore' without quotes into the box). |

Same here, I usually play over Frankfurt with little to no lags, since two days however I have immense lag spikes.
Did 3 Frag-Runs via Eternal Lab with Frankfurt (fra.login.pathofexile.com) and experiencing lags
Spoiler
 and also 3 Frag-Runs via Eternal Lab with Amsterdam (eu.login.pathofexile.com) and experiencing the same lags
Spoiler
 What to do now(I don't understand anything of that jibberish out of WinMTR) ? Last edited by MosIEy#1348 on May 27, 2016, 4:44:37 PM

Please create your own thread.
Also, you have some packet loss through your ISP. I'd escalate to them. |
