Massive lag spikes on Odin

[Monkeywool]

Hi folks, was doing maps yesterday and some crafting and noticed whenever I was in a maps dungeon I kept getting huge lag spikes as if I was about to disconnect. Afterwards I was in the Crystarium just crafting using some macros I created that have been working fine for weeks, only for them to start failing because lag spikes meant the actions weren't being registered.

I thought it was a one off, but logging in today I'm experiencing the same. This time when I was crafting and when I was going between worlds on my datacentre.

My server is Odin, I have a tracert which is giving a very high latency or time out on the hop just before it hits the IP address that it shows I'm connected to in resource manager. Looks like it might be one of yours though.

Not had a problem at all until now and I've not changed any of my equipment lately. Doing stuff on other games, youtube, netflix etc I experience no issues and can run streaming services in 4k with no issues.
