Request for information: ISPs and P2P throttling

[Roseyrosho]

So, do we know why this is some people but not others? Something to do with our internet routing?

The people that get routed through TATA are the ones having issues for the most part. In short, SQUARE needs to fire them, and relocate.

Is there some way to test to see if that's the case? And why do some get routed via TATA but not others?

By using traces, the people being routed through certain nodes owned by TATA seem to have the problem, look at previous posts in this topic.

This one is very detailed, and explains the problem quite well though. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post1302642

Thanks, I don't particularly udnerstand everything there though so I don't get why some people's traffic goes via this but not others'. The answer might confuse me though.

Is there anything that can be done? Like Peerblocking or something?

Depending on your physical location, and ISP, you'll have a different route to a host. Sometimes that route can even change throughout the day if the backend routing tables update for some reason.

I'm on TWC in socal and my normal route goes though a TATA palo alto hop where the problem is. I use a VPN service that routes me to the east coast first, and it bypasses TAT completely...so no more lag for me

That's interesting. I play in two locations. One routes through tata and has lag generally around 2pm eastern. The other routes through cogent and while I don't generally play at the same time there it never lags.
