It was during a period where I was backing up a 500GB hard drive so hardly idle.

Been away the past few days, anyway:



Packet loss all day pretty much, wrote on the VM forums and going to see what they say.

Here's mine. This is my first so I'm not used to reading them. Apart from a few very obvious, short-lived spikes, it doesn't look too bad to me. The troughs correlate precisely with the moment my torrent software halts and resumes all downloads and uploads.

[zekeisaszekedoes]

I see I'm not the only one getting the huge but brief latency spikes that often result in packet loss. Wonder if it's a symptom of the upgrades VM are rolling out across the network.

Case in point, look how bad one of my recent ones was. It was so bad it knocked both the modem and router off and I didn't notice until later.

[roughbeast]

Am running without torrents for 24 hours or so, from just after 12.00 noon, just to see what that does for my stats.

[asbo dog]

apart from the wee spike at 12pm the rest is idle and am shocked to see even tho peak time latency was not as bad as can be last night the packet loss was worse than most nights when i see insane latency, and yet again even on a good night the 4pm increase is present,either some one maxing there connection's out every day at 4pm or that's traffic shapping kit increase.

am sick of checking latency now and feeling vm are not bothered about the experiences i am having on there network, bandwidth a+ latency f-

any one else in the oldham area checking there latency on here?
EDIT @roughbeast. when maxing upload mine spike upto around 140 (which is the same allmost as when idle and getting these latency spikes, which leads me to think am over subscribed and competing with heavy p2p users, or serious skydrive users) and avg is insane but that is the norm anyway, it being idle and still getting dog egg latency thats the pits

[roughbeast]

This graph includes, for now, the point at which I closed down Utorrent just after 12.00 noon yesterday.

Since then the maximum latency has varied in a series of 1-2 hour-long peaks and troughs. I cannot explain all of those with computer activity. Packet loss looks good though.

Next time I am away I'll try it with just the router on and no clients.

Stephen, there are 2 Dublin servers, Eircom and digiweb. digiweb gives a lot lower pings if you want to test to that one its usually arouns 13ms to 15ms whereas the eircom one is usually 30ms+

[Stephen]

Cheers, 34ms still is pretty low though and I have no gaming issues from the connection either.

Was there a firmware update at approx 3:30am yesterday morning, the little red spikes are evident on all of yesterdays post's

Nice spot but it was nearer 4pm not sure what would have caused that.

They did an update to the p2p management policy yesterday, but I can't see that it would cause superhubs to reboot. Didn't affect my modem

missed that as i rebooted router a couple of mins before, that is why i have 2 packet loss periods at that time. (maybe my super hub is super and rebooted all your connections)

last night was well poor, had to turn xbox off at about 9.45pm as the planes in battlefiled 1943 was impossible to fly with that lag freeze. pathpings wouldn't even resolve to the final hop during that bad period
