    So according to the in game latency connection gauge thingimy bob I'm usually at about 50 to 70ms but it spikes to 200+ms

    So I'm in the UK and I've run tracert to woodman and it's fine, ran tracert to lp.soe.com and it goes fubar. The difference between the two? Well from me to woodman I don't go through a level 3 switch. I do on my way to lp.soe.com. So this neatly shows how the problem is clearly with level 3.

    What I don't get is why my latency sometimes spikes really badly. Perhaps my data packets are occasionally being redirected through level 3? I dunno.

    Here's my tracert from Quincy, MA - a few clicks south of Boston.
    This is the second one I've run - surprisingly, this one (which I decided to post) has considerably higher pings; the first tracert I ran had pings all in the teens.

    At spontaneous while playing the game, I get disconnected. However, it's not the disconnect dialogue box that appears first. I know I'm disconnected when players walk in one direction, through walls and floors and fly-walking. while tanks drift in the air. This can happen within 5mins of playing or over 1 hour. The situation cannot be recreated to demonstrate. The disconnect dialogue box only appears after approx 3-5mins.

    I started a thread before regarding my situation, but unfortunately no fix.(https://forums.station.sony.com/ps2...ng-through-walls-and-ground-or-flying.181192/) So I'm hopeful this is the right direction!

    Connecticut. AT&T Uverse. Looks like AT&T has a couple routers configured to not respond to icmp, and at or just before the handoff to Level3 (looks like it happens in Chicago?), latency doubles.

    Well, mind you... Level 3 controls only part of the internet connections. Providers can and will have issues that they cannot do much about, such as hardware failures, line disconnects... To give an example, the main backbone to the Bay Area was literally severed by some malicious people, blacking out the internet connection for about 2 to 3 days, some businesses that rely on the internet to literally shut down because of a lack of internet.

    You also have to identify where some of the breaks are, as their collection of networks is large.
  15. Keiichi25

    Actually, telling people the proper information, regardless of whether or not you think it is stupid, is better than misinforming the masses of completely inaccurate information. Further more, not all major networks are 'clusters of servers', but router hardware which doesn't require a 'server' to do the very thing you speak of. What YOU are thinking of, is load balancing with regards to serving data information, such as content providing or web pages to alleviate heavy loads, as originally, most network connections at one point can have an issue delivering content due to distance and bandwidth.

    Hence why there are now data centers to de-centralize some information as noted in the past with MMOs and web site promo experiences, how bogged down a single point tries to deal with large loads and also the emergence of DDOS as a means to attack internet infrastructures which are now more common place.
