High ping to 195.122.154.1

alakmir

I don't know if this has been around because I have logged on after a long time. I have been constantly getting around 150 more ping on my base ping which is 180. So my current ping to the EU game server 195.122.154.1 is 280-320 in pve areas forget pvp.
My location is India, and I am habituated of playing at 180-220 but this sudden change has rendered the game unplayable for me. Moreover, when I logged in to NA server, I was getting around 290 which was expected considering India is more close to EU.

Here is a trace report :

As you can see that I am getting 243 ping to an IP address which is located in Switzerland. Can someone please look into this.

195.122.154.1 is Kassel, Germany.

Everyone caring about international latency should also read
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peering

If it happens that give and take in a peering relation is out of balance it might happen that one or two partners quit partnership or limit bandwith for incoming or outgoing taffic. It is basically useless to ask a company to optimize their international latency.

The big steps are 103.42.160.13 -> 182.79.152.152 which is Mumbai -> Risod (India) and 62.115.162.232 -> 62.115.50.19 which are both in Switzerland. From the 2nd hub in Switzerland its only a few ms to Germany.

This may change anytime when they change peering on national or international levels.

Since Telia is on the other end of the line you best chance is to ask Advantus (103.42.160.13) in India and Bharti Airtel Limited (182.79.152.152) in India why there is a latency of 120ms.
