Heres the funny thing, I can ping a server in florida and get under 30 ms latency, however if I ping any number of servers locally in state of MI less than 50 miles away I think my packets loop all the way to southern part of country before coming back which usually puts me in 40-50ms range.
reply to BHNtechXpert I did have an additional question related to this topic. I looked in the SB6850 settings and by default the MTU is set to 1500 but when performing my own analysis it seems like anything packet I send out over doing ping -f -l 1272 "some address" comes back with ICMP response that fragmentation is needed. Shouldn't I then be turning the MTU down to a more optimal setting like 1300 or so?
