What can an Aussie Do? - 13CentKiller - 12-03-2008
' Wrote:Ok HOW do you know that you Packet does all that? I have a hard time understand where my wirelessthing sends it information to.A little pixie told me...And yes, when your router is on and transmitting a signal, your 802.11 wireless networking card picks up the signal and connects you to the router. The router is connected to a modem, and the modem is logged into your ISP with your login data and DNS information. Once your connected to your router and modem, the modem confirms your login data that corrosponds with your ISP DNS information. They connect you to the internet.
A packet is a small piece of data transmitted via cable to and from the specified destination to measure latency. Latency is measured in Milliseconds(ms). This latency is refered to as "Ping". Submarines still use it today to measure distance from an object in the water. The longer the ping sound they send out takes to come back, the further away the object is.
The ping to your ISP should be around 15 to 30 milliseconds.
Here is an experiment:
Type START > RUN > Enter: cmd in the box and click OK.
In the black box type: tracert www.discoverygc.com
This will tell you where your ISP is routing your connection to the forums and the amout of hops it takes for that packet to get from your computer, to the the hosts of Discoverygc back to your computer (one round trip)

Ohh and People hate you what else could you ask! CAKE ...well umm yer but ....did i just talk to myself?

It takes my 400ms or point 4 seconds for my computer to process a packet, send it to my router...Send it to an Auckland exchange, then to a Wellington exchange, to my ISP.
From my ISP it goes though an inter-Continental pipe, to a regional exchange in Australia, to a regional exchange in Malaysia all the way to Europe to a regional exchange in Prague to a local exchange, to Mjkp's router to the server.
Where the data gets processed and sent back the same way all the way back to my computer again
0.4 seconds, and we complain?:huh:
EDIT: Mine is a total of 22 hops. in 345ms. I am hundreds of mines from my ISP.
Just came back from a trip to Auckland... Visited the Maori's and Kiwis...
I'm not surprised that your ping is that high, I used the net from a friend in Auckland... it was terribly slow....
Oz is not that fast either, it's probably all these pipes coming all the way under the ocean...
In UK the ping to servers including servers in US were quite fast...
I'm getting 21 hops on VPN, so probably 18 hops from home when I connect to FL...

Well an Aussie can cook some prawn on the barbi- Oh...
I mean, check your internet coord - Ive noticed that extended coord lengths give you less bandwith.
For example, I have a modem and a SMC Barricade Firewall Box - I plug the modem into the Barricade and then my PC into the other end of the Barricade - There are two different coords giving me internet, thus it has to travel twice as far down the pipe.
Its kinda how wireless works you could say, farther the distance less the bandwith.

I never really had a problem with lag unless I was fighting other people from Australia/NZ. My ANZLAG was never bad until I got stuck with Woosh! >_>
Australia must have worse broadband than New Zealand. It's mostly Australians I see complaining.

Heh. Lag.
There are days when I cannot go on the server for more than 20 secs before being kicked for having too much lag.
