Latency issues on the other hand can be somewhat reliably diagnosed with Pingplotter or other similar tools, if you want to know more, check the link below. The only way to determine and diagnose connection issues is to run a packet capture between two endpoints, using wireshark, tcpdump etc in the case of this game though, a wirecapture will provide little useful info, since all the in-game client-server communication is sent using udp - and udp is all but impossible to diagnose (no sequence/ack numbers) unless there's some custom protocol running on top of it, to provide some sort of sequencing info. Your problem might very well be on the return path, in which case you have no way of determining where along the return path problems occur. are of limited usefulness, since they only show the path to an IP, and not the return path. When you see ICMP packet loss on a few hops, that's completely normal, and not indicative of any problem. Router admins don't care about your ICMP packets arriving on time - they are completely irrelevant. use ICMP packets, not tcp or udp packets - most routers are configured to drop or deprioritize ICMP packets, especially when they get busy. Those packet-loss plots are meaningless, and you're wasting your time, here's why: If you're interested in more in depth analysis, plenty of features are available for testing with different packet types, getting alerted about problems, and perpetually monitoring entire networks.Alright - I'm seeing many people make posts showing pingplotter graphs showing 'packet loss'. PingPlotterIt is a multi-linear tracking routing proceduresIt can reveal the current network bottlenecks and problems arise, quickly determine the current. From there, the tool will collect latency and packet loss data until you capture the information you need. All it takes to get started is entering a target and clicking the trace button. It also helps persuade others to make changes if you find a problem with a network you do not control.Īnalyzing network performance with PingPlotter can be as simple or complex and you need. Visual evidence helps diagnose problems faster. It tests the route between your computer and a target website then graphs the results.
PingPlotter makes finding and proving the source of network problems easier.
Is it your local network, the website you're accessing, or something in between? When that's the case, understanding the cause of the problem is essential to finding a solution.
Dont waste time with PingPlotter and speed tests until your modem signals and modem logs are clean and correct. Sometimes solving a network problem takes more than rebooting the router. Once you have good downstream and upstream signals, virtually zero uncorrectable codewords, and clean modem logs with no T3/T4 timeouts, only then should you move on to running PingPlotter and speed tests.
