Re: [Connectivity] Terrible Ping during downloads/games

Try ping plotter to see where the congestion is happening. It's a great tool.

And Smokeping just pings and IP address for an extended amount of time. The IP address is usually the inbound interface on your router (or PC if no router), not the actual modem itself.

My bet is an overutilized trunk link from the node. Network congestion (from overutilization) is what normally causes high ping times as the packet has to sit in the buffer for it's turn.

I can run smokepings all day w/ everything powered down except the modem. Has always worked that way for me /shrug

My modem gets a 10.x.x.x address. That is a private address and can't be used on the internet. My router gets the public IP address.
