Big latency change.

[NekoShogun]

Hello.
I play on Valefor and lately experience very high latency in-game. Usualy my ping to the server ip 124.150.157.47 (got it from my task manager resourse monitor as the main connection of FFXIV.exe process) was 49-60 ms. And now the traceroute shows:

19 237 ms 237 ms 237 ms 124.150.157.47

the main ip hop that gets 200+ latency is Japan to Japan.

After that i checked the current ip connected and found there 124.150.157.36 as the main connection for ff14 process. And its even much worse:

20 432 ms 432 ms 432 ms 124.150.157.36

As i see according to WHOIS the trace goes to Germany first and after that to Japan.
Could you please help me with this issue. I would like to know if something happened lately with servers. This started nearly a week ago.

Playing with current ping is nearly impossible. Also my FC mates from other countries expirience same problems.

The changes happening along your route are far more likely to be the result of changes in or a result of your ISP's established policies or those of their routing partner(s). They are the ones establishing the parameters for how you get routed to Ormuco if connecting to Canada or to asianet/JPNIC if connecting to Japan. Your ISP sets the policy that determines which routing partner to use based on analytics run for the destination ISP, and the route used to get to that partner. Then that partner makes routing decisions based on their analytics. While either of those phases may be influenced by peering/transit agreements, those would be agreements made with the ISP's, and as such are by design influenced by their policies before any content provider's needs/wants should influence routing policy.

So, basically...it points back to the ISP's mostly, except under very limited circumstances. Things like malformed data packets or something like not including a proper flag in the headers that results in shaping rules of an ISP delaying/dropping packets due to congestion. Which can still point back to that ISP because they have an issue with over utilization in general that they need to address outside of anything that SE may or may not be doing with their data.

Thx for the answer, Raist
I tryed connecting from 3 diffirent proveders. The route was nealy same every time (exept for first hops ofcourse). And also as you can see at first traceroute. I succesfully get to japan network and after that the big change.

Both are registered for 1 company. Should be some more description for such a process
