Square, your NA/EU data centre has serious issues...

Really? When Odin is up looks like the whole playerbase crashes in the zone, doesn't it? Or do you know also how SE manages the connections?

Learn to read, man. This time I'll bold the part you missed: "In data networking and queueing theory, network congestion occurs when a link or node is carrying so much data that its quality of service deteriorates. Typical effects include queueing delay, packet loss or the blocking of new connections. A consequence of these latter two is that incremental increases in offered load lead either only to small increases in network throughput, or to an actual reduction in network throughput."

You try to understand what you read. Throughput doesn't mean the server and the last connection. If it lags it does for everyone.

Throughput means all the data going through the node, you seem to be lost now.

Exactly, so it means everyone through that node. Why should you lag and someone else not? At school they never made the street example with the cars? Or what happens when you put too much liquid into a funnel? Do you know why it's called bottleneck when there aren't too many resources?

You aren't getting how this works, are you? The type of congestion control used by SE's server is limiting certain ranges of incoming transmissions in order to maintain a higher QOS for the other people connected. It's called congestion control. Do I know their algorithm? No, I didn't set up their server.

Ya their congestion control is called 1017 with a manual control of character creation limit. Great QOS algorithm.

Character creation control isn't even on the same plane as network control. You're grasping for straws now.
