Title: Trace Your connection ...
Post by: Janne Hakala on September 11, 1999, 06:50:00 AM
Check out NeoTrace -software from  http://www.neoworx.com/ (http://www.neoworx.com/)

Great graphical trace with ping times of each server and so on and so on..

Absolutely worth to look at !

Yummie, Sascha!

hmm, nacamar - do they have a flat rate for
private users? I'm currently using the DM24,-
per month flat rate of xlink.

PS: Do they have a pop in the city tarif of
Mülheim an der Ruhr?

Post by: Sascha JG 77 on September 16, 1999, 03:46:00 AM
Xlink? Never heared of them..Do the DM 24/month include phone charges?

Not sure about nacamar, like I said: That route is  from my place of work in Nürnberg.

I am currently using freenet from my home PC (yuck!) since I ll prolly be moving pretty soon and don't wanna commit myself to one ISP at this time.

I still have a nacamar account though, through RMC in Munich. It was a pretty fast connection costing about DM 39 a month flat plus phone charges (but that was 2 yrs ago). Speaking of which: It's about time I got rid of that old acount.. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

So what do you do about the missing packets, and how do you tell where there being dropped with Visual Route,

AND HOW DO YOU FIX THEM?

>>So what do you do about the missing packets, and how do you tell where there being dropped with Visual Route,

That's the bain of every on line gamer.  Once a packet is dropped, it's gone.  The best thing you can do is if you have excessive packet loss, either complain to your ISP or change ISPs.

Forget all the nitty gritty details.

Just answer the main question:

Where in the world do the lost packets *go* fer christ's sake?

Isn't there some software like airlines have for finding missing luggage that we can use?

Once a packet is droped it's not always gone.

Ping's use UDP for testing purpose so that they can monitor line integrety allong with transmition times.UDP packets are not retransmited or acknoldged by the reciever so they can be lost. How UDP packets get droped is normaly do to an overloaded router. When more data is comming into the router than it can send out it has to do somthing so they just toss the packets out.

With TCP, packets will always be delivered (withing resone) but they can arive a tad late. What happens in TCP is the reciever of a packet always send an acknoldgement back to the sender. If the sender dosnt recieve an ack with in a specific period of time it retransmits the original until it recieves an ack.
