Hey all,

Does this happen only when connecting cross realm, or does it happen on local servers as well? Would it be possible to run an MTR to the local servers as well?

Results to OCE servers, no ping problems at all to OCE servers for me.

Fíz,

It looks like some of the information is missing, potentially, and there are about 5 hops with an identical name, muddying the test. Did you cut any information from the test? If so, can you re run it and post all of the information? (The first lines are not your external IP address, it’s just a router IP, so it’s safe to post here.)

If you did not modify the test before uploading it, can you try a traceroute instead and reply with that?

Nothing was cut or replaced with that winMTR test, that was the results it gave me. Here is a traceroute to the same IP address:

Hey again Fíz,

Those look like they go to the Oceanic servers and it seems like you mentioned that connection was fine? The test certainly looks fine. You’re not having problems connecting to that server, right? If so, can you please post another test to the server you are having problems with? (Looks like 24.105.62.129?)

Yes connection to OCE is fine as I said earlier, you asked for the OCE tests, haha.

Here is to US Central servers:

I was having spikes on top of the extra latency I had today, ran another traceroute and the first Blizzard hop had a higher ping, is there any progress on this route?

Hey there,

To be clear, there is a jump from 180-260 when the signal crosses the ocean. This is normal and unavoidable due to the physical distance through an undersea cable the signal must travel through.

The root of our problem here is that the latency is 180+ before it reaches Japan which is where the journey across the ocean begins. This is indicated by the following:

My best advice would be to contact your ISP and ask for a Tier 3 agent who is able to work with their network engineers on routing issues. They may be able to root out the problem and resolve it.

Be sure to focus on the problem routing before the jump across the ocean which is unavoidable.

I do sincerely hope this information helps.
