MASSIVE choke issues....

Stryker · October 30, 2002, 09:25:47 AM

thanks for spotting that, I've looked at these kinda traceroutes so much the figures all blur into one....

those coming via the 195.. (AS8553.NET) are the fourtunate ones... see how the average response time is so much lower throughout the route... thats the diff a decent transit provider makes...

problem is black-adder does not seem to like talking to our second router (cwgtway2).... weird.

Maybe if our various customers go crazy and pay actually their bills we will be able to afford 3com nics for the routers :-)

QuoteI notice that Tutonic, Armitage and I reach Homer on one route (80.x.x.x) while Albert and JB reach Homer through another (195.x.x.x). Albert and JB show high latency at Homer whereas those coming in through 80.x.x.x seem to show high latency before Homer.

I get huge lag spikes as does Tut. What about you other guys?

I can get loss/choke and lag spikes. And unfortunately it seems that whichever connection I dial up (I have a few options) they ALL route via 80.xx.xx.xx etc. Grrrrr!

Quoteit would be REALLY handy if you could all get a copy of "ping plotter"... its a SUPERB tool for diag of networks.

What a cracking toy! How many Gb of data do you want :-)

I'll run Ping Plotter in the background tonight to record data during the game and see if we can correlate lag spikes with the data.

Stryker · October 30, 2002, 11:31:36 AM

good idea BB. If the rest of the grunts do it too with enough graphs from enough people covering the same period we may be able to build up a better picture of whats going on.

For comparison, here is graph of it "quiet" :-)

You can plainly see packet loss in BY (I have logged this with BY) and Crosswired areas. The red vertical bits are where I, and others, experience lag spikes. It seems to repeat on a 1 minute cycle although sometimes it is so transient it doesn't register. As you can see though, some of the spikes are not so transient and last for anything up to 10 seconds.

This, of course, will be my reason for being killed for the next 6 months so get used to it :-)

Thought I had a screenie of my graph. Thought wrong. I'll be beck

Doorman · October 30, 2002, 12:58:35 PM

Let's see now. Yep!
I hope this is helpful, couldn't make head nor tail of it myself

:? :oops:

God! What a crap screenie! How'd you get yours so clear BB?

DogMeat · October 30, 2002, 03:24:44 PM

It looks like you're fscked before you start, Doorman. PL begins as soon as Blueblunder get their incompetent little fingers on your packets...

Stryker · October 30, 2002, 03:28:18 PM

wow, BB, I get those few second pauses every min or two.... and yes I'm on blueblunder too !!!!

it must be a national thing.

I've also noticed that they seem to cause failed webpages sometimes too. You get page not available but if you hit refresh it appears instantly. At least it is not only BY that have probs. It seems to appear in other areas too looking at the submitted graphs.

Yours seems to be stretched somewhat (500x275 pixels compared to mine at 448x391 pixels).
I screengrabbed the window, cut out the bits I didn't want, then saved it as a GIF file - simple as that.

Doorman · October 30, 2002, 04:39:05 PM

I used the progams 'save as image' then optimsed it using PS 'save for web' and save it as a gif. Still, the point is does it tell you anything? I've been watching various IPs at 2.5 sec. intervals and a very interesting thing it is to. :roll:
