Looks like a large spike between hop 4 and 5 there. Within VM's network.

Very strange how Snoop and myself are both affected at the exact same time as per our TBB graphs. Obviously a East Anglia issue!

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

I could be wrong, but both traces are going through nrth-bb-1b-et-xxx.network.virginmedia.net so I'd say that's where the issue is. Someone better qualified than I can comment though.

Yeah, pretty obvious core network congestion.

Made a post on the official forums, see what they have to say. Funnily enough around midnight things returned to normal as if a switch had been flicked. Be interesting to see how tonight turns out

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

It's entirely possible it's not congestion but either a routing or a configuration issue. The fact that it disappeared exactly at midnight leans towards this. If it was congestion, I'd expect to see a decline over a couple of hours as people go to bed.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

I tend to agree Kushan, the fact Snoop and I were both affected at the exact time with similar Pings supports that too.

Ignore the on the hour spikes thats just SamKnows running.

I had the same issues, and a smaller peak the night before.

That's exactly how congestion works. Congestion is caused by load. Midnight, people go to bed. Load goes down, congestion goes down. Things return to normal.

I too had the smaller spike the previous night too, obviously a problem within our area.

Disagree. This has been seen many times before, this is exactly how core congestion manifests. It does not decline gradually over a couple of hours. Big pipes do not see gradual changes in latency. All the way up to around 95% load latency is perfectly normal, and between 95% and 100% you get a big, sudden jump.

Also it's obvious from the graph it did not disappear exactly at midnight. It was declining throughout the period from about 10:15pm to 11:45pm. Funny how people go to bed at around that time...

Finally, routing and configuration issues are the most common causes of congestion
