Cruella Report post Posted February 5, 2009 I'm experiencing "bursts" of server latency from 7.000 to 80.000 ms all morning long with periods of normal ping in a range of 70-80 ms. Internet connection monitoring tool shows that this is limited to EL, all other applications do not suffer such lag. Any ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Internet connection monitoring tool shows that this is limited to EL, all other applications do not suffer such lag. Any ideas? Usually this happens when one of the internet routers between you and the EL gane server is having problems or one of the networks is overloaded. Using tracert/traceroute can help identify where th latenvy is happening, running it multiple times and paying attention to the first hop listed that has the latency out of all the samples. *biased opinion* Because things like this do happen on the internet is one reason I provide my Premioum Proxy Service. To allow people an alternative route to EL when their normal route has problems. Usually, one of them can help you bypass the problems (but not always). */biased opinion* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruella Report post Posted February 5, 2009 Thanks, normally I have no problems whatsoever, just today, so I was wondering if there is a problem with EL's ISP. I'll run traceroute and see what it shows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll run traceroute and see what it shows. We have seen in that past one particular ISP in EU that is a common route to get to the EL ISP that has had problems. Some of the routers in the UK & Germany have had problems in the past regularly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
korrode Report post Posted February 5, 2009 MTR / WinMTR are great for tracerouting. They do an on-going traceroute that is great for longer period testing. Linux: http://www.bitwizard.nl/mtr/ ...or most likely you can find it in your distribution's package repos already. Windows: http://winmtr.sourceforge.net/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
