packet loss

[parrot]

Any idea what the hell is going on with my connection? These are all from hitting google.com btw.

Seems to me like connection goes through from some bad routing point. Tried to restart modem and reset internet connection?

time warner came out and swapped my modem for a different one. Same issue. TWC says since it isn't my equipment, they have no responsibility. I have just switched to a different DNS server, so I'm fixing to check and see if it is fixed.

Not so familiar with linux(I guess you´re running terminal) but have you tried to reset your connection in OS. Also I failed to connect to internet with old Fedora release at all( and as google told it wasn´t only me). So maybe try installing new drivers for net card.

I got packet loss also but as I remember it started from my modem, and all hops had over 30% packet loss then(not all the time but every 3rd winmtr showed it). And changing modem fixed it.

Guess I might try buying my own modem. TWC keeps giving me old crap made by Ubee :/

 

I'll look into drivers, but I just installed Mint 16 so they should be up to date.

imho you should care about packet loss at the last line, and not in the middle

if it gets carried over to the next line you can tell where it starts, but if the last one has no packet loss, it could be that the middle ones just cut mtr traffic

 

that stdev column is a bit high, though

ah

 

didn't know that....

Starting with line 2, you're already out of your own network. Lines 2-7 are your ISP and 8-14 are Google. Nothing you do with your equipment is going to fix what appears to lost packets inside of Google's network. I don't know why they route through so many servers, though. I do `traceroute google.com` and get 1 local, 3 ISP, and 4 Google.

Agree. "Packet loss" might just be ignored pings.

 

 

BTW, what traceroute app are you using? That looks slick.

That's what I told time warner but they ignored me lol

 

mtr from the Linux terminal

 

Winbloze people have WinMtr

and to make matters worse, using time warner's dns subjects me to their hijacking when typing search queries into the address bar :<
