Kansas to Netherlands and Back Routing (High Ping)

Technical Support

Hey all! I ran a trace route to see what was going on since I’ve been experiencing high ping today, turns out I’m being routed to the Netherlands (Supposedly, the IP address states it’s in the Netherlands). Here’s the Trace Route Results:

Tracing route to 24.105.30.129 over a maximum of 30 hops

My ISP is Spectrum.

Any advice or information Blizz? This was not an issue for me yesterday, as far as I noticed. I have already cycled, renewed, and flushed my DNS.

Any particular reason hop 8 is routing to 9?

Does the following help ?

They were originally registered in Europe. We are now using these IP addresses here in the US. Those IP address registries shows where the IP addresses was registered not where it is currently being used. Can sometimes be a bit misleading.

Just here to confirm that Maskraider is correct. Netherlands is a common one that we see confusion with when a search for the IP is done. These IPs were registered there but this is not the server location.

As far as troubleshooting your connection, you may want to perform a WinMTR and a Looking-Glass (when seeing high ping) as suggested here… WinMTR checks your connection from your computer to Blizzard while the Looking-Glass goes from Blizzard to your ISP. Post the reports in your reply,
