Lovely Lovely Trace Times

[TerraHawk]

As most of you know, I come in from Australia.

As some of you may have noticed, between 6 and 7 pm my time (Australian Eastern Standard Time - GMT + 11:00), things were very laggy on CL.

Thi a copy of the Traceroute I just did :

[Hm.. something went wrong when I posted 5 mins ago. Let's see whether this post makes its way to the board]

Hi

For me, the game becomes very laggy when the RTT exceeds 500ms. The normal RTT for me is way below that though. (about 150ms) I guess for many clickers from the US, the normal RTT is somewhere at 100ms or below.

While the 800ms definitely are a problem, the 40% packet loss are more severe though. When I have that much packet loss, Sargon either chats in town or he's studying comic^H^H^H^H^Hhealer books in the library. I hope this trace/ping is not the usual behaviour, TH! :)
