Solving connection issues
« on: January 16, 2015, 04:59:08 am »

Recently, I have been having tons of dropped packets to the bay12 minecraft server occassionally, from 20 to 60% at times.

Spoiler: tracert (click to show/hide)

Tracert seems to tell me that the 10th path it used to get to the server has a timeout (that's what the korean says, btw--request has timed out). Is it possible to figure out which path this is then blacklist it somehow? :/

That's not quite what it's saying. If *every* ping to that hop times out, it tends to mean that it's configured not to respond to ping.

Given that the random timeouts happen after that hop, that does suggest that the problem is with one side of that hop (incoming from hop 9 or outgoing to hop 11) or even with one of those routers (hop 9, 10 or 11) itself. Unfortunately you can't find out whose it is, but it might be possible to ID hop 9 to give you a hint. Hop 11 is an international line (run by GTT), which is why the latency skyrockets.

FAKEEDIT: Hop 9 is most likely Korea Telecom. 8 is for sure, most likely all the 112.174.*.* hops are. So the problem seems to be on the border router between Korea Telecom and GTT.

Interesting, so that's how you read tracert.
