NEW INFO!
OK I have been extensively testing this and can say with almost complete certainty this intermittent issue is SERVER CONNECTION BASED. I have already updated this issue to blizzard CS.
The packet loss is present immediately when connecting to a particular IP/PORT in the pool of addresses that LAX1 uses, I assume it’s pool of load balanced IP’s.
I noticed this when it was happening prior a few weeks ago. Id connect to LAX1 and have issues from the get go, or I’d connect another time and not have any… so tonight I logged my connections and activity and time.
Tonight, play connected to LAX1 back to back, connected to various IP and Ports that are assigned to it.
So here is the detailed info for tonight all matches (connections) are contiguous, back to back.
LAX1 24.105.10.140:26504 - 6:15pm PST No problem Played for @ 10 min
LAX1 24.105.11.2:26580 - 6:30pm PST No problem Played for @ 10 min
LAX1 24.104.14.67:26613 - 6:40pm PACKET LOSS!!! for whole time connected @
15min
Immediately after…
LAX1 24.105.11.2:26580 - 7:05pm no Problem connected for 15 min
There is an intermittent issue BECAUSE it is dependent on the particular Server IP connection. In the span of minutes I can have bad connection to one of the load balanced IP addresses belonging to LAX1 pool, followed by a completely good connection to another. fully able to duplicate this now and gather more data on other IP connections.
If this was not an issue on Blizzards end, I cannot explain this kind of behavior.
This is DEFINITELY not reminiscent of a packet loss in transit at some given router.
It should not produce such symptoms that hinge on the particular OW Server IP yet it does.
I ALSO ran a looking glass trace back to be from Blizzard WHILE connected to each server listed above. The routes back are identical in the traces. I have provided these to CS and will post here as well.
