Lag, but mainly ploss

[Delic]

I've been having ping latency and packet loss problems since about a week back now.

 

At first it was just in TW, 17th and those servers, then I started plossing a bit more in DSB too, not as bad though.

 

The ping would go up to 400, making it impossible for me to play.

 

My usual lag in TW is 160-170 ms. Currently it's 180+, but will still spike up to 400 sometimes, and still has that annoying ploss that I can't really play with.

As you can see, it stops at the 8th hop for some reason, any ideas? ;/ Same in a lot of other zones, I suppose they're on the same location.

And 5 minutes later..

But I guess the interesting part is that it stops after the 7th hop ;/

Here it won't even display the ploss it seems, but in-game check says it's there.

That stopping-after-7-hop is normal. Sometimes happens when routers are configured in a certain way. Nothing bad.

 

Sounds like some general network issues. These sometimes come and go. Just wait it out.

I don't remember it stopping before though, isn't it a bit weird that it started happening after I started having these problems?

Although last time I did a trace was awhile ago, so it's very possible that it's unrelated ;/

 

I've never had this kind of long lasting problems before.

A lot can change in a year

 

Meh, I once had 20% packetloss for two months because of router issues like this
