Title: Package loss 60%
Post by: Duedel on May 04, 2002, 04:23:16 PM
Sorry, i know this belongs to the Internet Connectivity Forum but im getting a withdrawal syndrome.
First of all german (european?) players have a problem to get into the MA. Since 2 days I have packet loss about 60% and when I get into MA I get the following message:
Not receiving updates switched to TCP.

All other arenas work very well. I really would appreciate it if someone could explain the cause of this problem! Maybe HT a little statement?

Thx

Recently from what I've seen duedal, its only those of us in Germany having the problem.  I can't get into the MA at all anymore :(

Must be a Deutsche Telekom problem.

LOL, now THAT explains why rooks have been winning last two days - not many german players flying for rooks ;)

No Kronos that is not a Telekom problem. We checked that.
It`s a HTC Problem.
And i hope they fix the Problem soon.

What you guys with poor conns need is a protocol Norwegians built some time ago: Protocol RFC1149 (http://dir.salon.com/tech/feature/2001/05/10/pigeons/index.html) :)

More about that protocol in Here (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1149.txt?number=1149)

Post by: devious on May 04, 2002, 07:58:59 PM
I presume you have a T-Online account - then it's the same problem I'm having. Some Telekom router went down, pings of 300+ and 75% PL resulting. ATM, I use call2surf, which works fine. Duedel, you might want to check http://www.heise.de and look up the Internettarife.

OT, I got my k/d ratio to > 1.0 :D feeling fine...

I don't have the problems you mention, Duedel. Not even at times when the Main hits 400+ players. 160-170ms ([trace via alter.net] which is damn good for the distance) and fairly stable host queue/ping times. Sometimes I'm glad I'm not a T-Offline user :D ;)

Post by: Duedel on May 04, 2002, 09:35:21 PM
Never had a problem with the Telekom. Why MA dont work and all other arenas work well?
Thx for ur suggestion dtx but I'm not willing to pay for other providers when I have a flat rate (not yet, maybe in 2 days :D). Hope to see u soon in MA :)
Title: Package loss 60%
Post by: Bluedog on May 04, 2002, 09:43:52 PM
The Main Arena is on a differant server than the CT,TA,DA,SEA etc.
That may go some way toward explaining why the MA is unreachable for you when the rest are fine.

Tried Call2Surf (ISDN-Provider) to connect to MA and it's working fine (but it costs money :( )! I don't understand this! Why does T-DSL has Problem only with MA and why does ISDN work? I'm totally confused. Anybody know where I can kill a Telekomiker?

Ps: I begin Download WarBirds to have a look if it can be enjoyeble for me. We hang on for the 3rd day here now and there is now answer from HTC.
I mailt 3times to the supportteam and i get not 1 response. Think that`s not OK.
Title: Why ?
Post by: devious on May 05, 2002, 08:00:29 AM
Duedel, all ISDN data traffic is concentrated into 2mbit lines at your local Telekom outlet. From there it will be fed to the ATM Backbone, in about 4 hops. The Telekom ATM backbone has about 100 nodes, and the one carrying the route to the MA seems fuxored. Now if some other provider takes your ISDN data stream off the backbone in another node, and connects it to the MA server via it's own (paid-for) route to the US of A, you just may have better results.

LOL after playing in CT yesterday (BTW was fun) I started to play WBIII offline. I really hate the FM!
Calm down alino ;) as dtx posted above (thanks m8) i think it's a problem of our heroic %/!"§$ Telekom so HTC can't do anything.

Sorry, Duedel.
 I can't share your optimism that the telekom is responsible.

I made several tracert round the globe, but the only server/node with problems is the MA server of Hitech.

But maybe someone of WBIII or WWIIonline bribed the telekom to cut off AH from Germany :rolleyes:

The last "working" Server is theplanet-2.
There is nothing more to say about it :mad:

how many of you are dsl?

im losing 40-60% between the planet and htc all other hops are fine. Im in florida btw and dsl.

I made a post last monday in the internet connect forum.

Title: Package loss 60%
Post by: Skuzzy on May 05, 2002, 10:50:00 AM
Ok,..been reading about the problems from Germany and if I may, I think I can get a handle on this.

When you see a traceroute, each and every 'hop' is a router.  The things you do not see are switches.  But, I will leave switches to another discussion.
Typically, when you see high pings/packet losses at either the last hop or next to the last hop of a traceroute, it is partly due to an asynchronous route.
Asynchronous routes occur when the data path to your destination is different than the data path from the destination back to you.
In this case, it appears the problem is the return path back to you.  Because you cannot see that path, you cannot get a true evaluation of your connection.  Somewhere along the way on the return path, there is a problem.  It could be a router, switch, or physical link problem.
Why would it happen at the MA and not other places?  Well, the odds are pretty slim that any given connection you have to any give point on the Internet is not going to take the same path, but if it does, you will see the same problem.

Not having access to the return path makes it difficult to see where the problem is.  

To answer some other questions;  The reason all the other arenas may be working fine for you is due to the different path and backbone ISP AppLink uses.

I know the knee jerk reaction is to think HTC is the problem, but in fact, the real issue may be beyond thier control at this time.  Hopefully this will not be an issue much longer, as we are making headway to getting the new pipes to AppLink so we can get the MA back here.

CC DSL here loosing 60-70% at theplanet.

Skuzzy maybe or maybe not that the reason is to search at HT.
But the thing that make me galling is: There is not one reaction to the mail`s that i have send to the support.
To know that they are searching for the Problem would be a bit becalming.

Wilbus, again, it is an asynchrounous route.  This is not something HTC can control.  It very well could be the return path, but do not take the last hop jump as a HTC problem.  They cannot control how data is routed over the Internet.

Hi Skuzzy, the Problem is in 5 Countries in europe. It`s Germany,Netherlands,Sweden,Spain and Finnland. Who the hell if not HTC can find out the Problem. ME NOT.

Clumpsy said Skuzzy, what I ment is that it's at HTC or nearby, it's not our connections  that is for sure, unless we all happen to have a pretty bad day down here in europe. Connection is sollid untill it gets to the HTC server.

Post by: Skuzzy on May 05, 2002, 01:26:50 PM
It is not about who can find out the problem Alino.  Depending on where the problem lies, there may be nothing HTC can do but wait it out.
I do not know exactly where the problem is.  Looking at all the trace data I have seen, it mostly appears to be a return data path issue.  I do not have access to the network where the MA is hosted, so it is difficult for me to say.
However, I have been through issues like this one, and it is not usually something that is resolved quickly.

Also, while many are complaining, very few are posting any helpful data.  I see a ton of complaints in the Internet Forum, but only 2 traceroutes.  Without data, there is absolutely nothing anyone can do.  So any complaints without any trace data is pretty much worthless and would/should be ignored.
You are one of the few that has posted any trace data Alino, and it is appreciated.  This is what is needed to find the problem.

Why should I bother stuffing my post with trace routes, when every other trace route that is already posted, shows the same.
Up to theplanet-2 erverything is fine.
I do not know and I cant test it, if there are any switches and routers between theplanet-2 and tpl.HTC .
But if there is any rerouting on routers or more likely balancers, then it happens between the last two hops.
The ISP had problem with the bandwith??
It seems, that they have solved the problem in a very unorthodox way.
They mask out a certain group of IP-adresses and let them run into a bottleneck. :mad: :mad:
 

Skuzzy, please take the Main-server back as soon as possible. Even with a T1-Connection it was never that bad. We had lags, but we could play at least.

Ah hah!  Anyone notice that all the traces start from the same Class A address of 217.x.x.x?

Looks like we got a route problem going on here.  I did a trace back to one of the posters in the Internet forum and the data going back to him was getting hung up in a router on his local ISP (telia).  
Looks like someone has propogated a bad route table for the 217.x.x.x IP address block.

The owner of that Class A block is Deutsche Telekom AG.  They are apparently propagating bad route tables for this block.

This is why we need traceroutes.  It is not neccessarily the times in the routes, it is also the addresses.  When the routes are asynchronous, there is no way for you to know where the problem really is.

Now, getting it fixed could be a problem.  I have not had much luck in getting overseas issues corrected.  Anyone familiar with the above company?

Alino, the problem still exists.  Here is a traceroute back to 217.5.98.143 (number 1 hop in your trace) from the MA location.

Now we have a few more trace routes on other postings, that do not go over the 217.x.x.x block.
And they have also problems of lags and packet losses.
What's about them?
I have some time, (I cannot log into the Main, remember?) so I traced down ervery goddoed  IP from 216.234.247.1 to 216.234.247.100
The whole C-Class 216.234.247.x is owned by Internap.
I made first a traceroute and then checked the answering IPs with a browser.

There was one thing I noticed at once.
All Ips with the same nasty behviour as the TPL , refer to  servers, that do not answer to standard browser requests (means no www or ftp...) and errr.... to porno sites :eek:

I have no idea what that might mean, just want to mention it.

I checked the dsl news forum of t-online.
There are many complaints about the connection to US sites.
Seems that there is really a problem at the telekom lines.
Problem is the lack of response to complaints of customers.:(

Is it lack of response, or lack of information?  ISP's need a lot of data to get routing problems ironed out.  Sometimes they are not even aware of where the problem may be.  This holds especially true of large ISP's.
I posted that trace back to the 217.x.x.x block to help show where one of the potential problems are.  It has to be sent to the ISP so they can see a place to start fixing the problem.

I can categorically say the 217.5.98.x Class C block has a serious routing problem.  The trace I posted shows the problem and at what router the problem is ocurring.

Hallo Leute,

no probs here since yesterday when nearly everybody in Main got bad connect.

If you german people wanna try out  something beside
Fu(&/()%§"!)=&/((%$§§ing Telekom go Q-dsl.de.
It's a bit more expensive ,59 Eu flat, but worth the price.

You may wanna get MTU-Speed too. It's a nice little programm that helps to optimize Win network. It's freeware, btw.

Geez moose....just through experience I guess.  After doing this type of work for over 20 years, ya just pick up stuff.

I do spend a lot of time reading and researching though.  The Internet and the associated protocols are always changing, so in some sense I am always in school.

Thank you to the guys that gave them the data to get this fixed.  We are all in this together and times like this is when we needed to bang from both ends to get it fixed.

Notice where I was tracing to?  217.237.156.110, and notice where it stops.  The IP address is a router, which cannot be reached now.  Also, notice the dropped packets/timeouts in the last 2 routers.
Sigh,..someone please get this to dtag.de and make them aware there is still a problem.

Actually. it is worse than it was yesterday.  They really have that 217.x.x.x Class A block messed up.

It has changed from the path it was taking yesterday, but not for the better.  At least the router that was claiming this particular Class A, was able to pass some packets, the new path is wrought with all kinds of packet loss and is not routing correctly.

Notice the differences in my two traces.  The last hop of the trace yesterday stopped at a partucular router.  The new trace from today stops one hop before the the router from yesterday.
Almost looks like they just turned off a router.  I know that is not it, but this is just bizarre.

Now the connection to the MA is perfect again.

I found an unofficial news board for telekom routing problems. Now I'm absolutely sure that it was a problem of the telekom.

There many people who had the same problems on other adresses.
But at the moment it seems to work everything.
Most funny were the reaction of the telekom to the complaint I posted on their news board.
They spoke of conspiracy and moved the post to an other board, which hardly anybody uses.
I wasn't even sarcastic, just posted the facts we found.
Seems that this is the standard punishment for renegade clients.

I finally decided to look for some more customer friendly ISP.

THX again to everybody
I hope this was the last time to post in this post :cool:

Rompa, does your traceroute contain a 217.x.x.x IP Address?  I noticed you are from Sweden, so it is worth a look.  If the trace has that IP address in it, then you are suffering from the same routing problem as many of the European players.

nuchpatrick:  There is a real routing problem in Europe.  How many ways to I have to post the proof of this?  If you are having a problem and want help, please post a traceroute.  With no data, there is nothing anyone can do to help.  

The immediate assumption it is HTC's problem is not correct.  It is thier problem if you are not happy, but they nor I can do anything about it if you just get on the BBS and rant/comment about it.  These types of complaints are appearing all over many BBS's, for many games.
There are some real problems with the Internet right now.  It has me somewhat befuddled, as I have never seen such a huge scope of problems ocurring on the Internet at one time.

I just did some tests tofri,  They look to be working on it, but it may not be stable yet.

By the way, just to put a number to the magnitude of the problem here.  This particular routing problem has the ability to effect over 16.3 million computers in Europe.
Thats a lot of potentially angry people.

Ahh tofri,...you doubt my work,...bummer.

The thing is, every day for the past (almost) week between (Central Euro time) 6pm and about 1am the connection SUCKS, this is when every european dweeb are surfing after they get home from work. So we can't fly. Check servers before that time (I was home early today) and you got normal good connection, posting now, 1.12am and ping time is stable and bellow 200ms.

Something is still wrong with the routing tables.  I suspect the only reason you are getting anywhere is due to the light load of traffic on the Internet.

EDIT:  I just realized that hops 11 (second trace) and hops 16 (first trace) in the above traces is the same router, but 2 very different paths were taken to get there.  This, in of itself, is not unusual, bu the fact that I started with a 217.x.x.x address and ended up going two different routes is bizarre and that both addresses I was tracing to are on the other side of this particular router makes this truly bizarre.

Hey Monk, take your traceroute and trace to the last one or two hops before the MA and see what happens.  They should be the same paths, but if not, then there is more wrong than I suspected.
