darrock Report post Posted December 9, 2014 A few minutes ago there was a mass grue. I was unable to reconnect for about 4 minutes, and ran several traceroutes while I was unable to connect. They were all similar to the following. I thought it was odd that there are around 7 hops within OVH's addresses... When the server was first moved there, I only recall there being two or three hops from hitting 198.27.73.xxx until reaching their server. Anyway, fwiw: 3 11 ms 10 ms 9 ms te-0-7-0-6-sur03.elkhart.in.sbend.comcast.net [6.87.204.29] 4 22 ms 20 ms 22 ms te-1-10-0-3-ar01.area4.il.chicago.comcast.net [12.151.37.217] 5 21 ms 24 ms 26 ms be-33491-cr01.350ecermak.il.ibone.comcast.net [6.86.91.165] 6 22 ms 20 ms 21 ms pos-1-4-0-0-pe01.350ecermak.il.ibone.comcast.net [68.86.86.162] 7 41 ms 45 ms * 198.27.73.65 8 43 ms * * 198.27.73.173 9 44 ms 46 ms 45 ms bhs-g1-6k.qc.ca [198.27.73.5]10 444 ms 437 ms * vac3-0-a9.qc.ca.vaccum [198.27.73.245]11 44 ms 43 ms 43 ms vac3-1-n7.qc.ca.firewall [198.27.73.242]12 44 ms 43 ms 44 ms vac3-2-n7.qc.ca [198.27.73.235]13 * 44 ms * vac3-3-n7.qc.ca [198.27.73.237]14 * * * Request timed out.15 44 ms 45 ms 44 ms game.eternal-lands.com [192.99.21.222] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elke Report post Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) OVH is a huge hosting company (it's one of Europe's biggest ones). A few hops inside their own network are not exactly unexpected. Routing can change in principle anytime in order to defend attacks on their services or servers hosted by them. However a routing change doesn't necessarily imply a lost connection.
