Graffiti Servers

[loial21]

This is the only application that I have down time in, period.  What can we conclude from this?

Its not my isp or my connection between servers.

I do very frequent traceroutes and never have a problem untill I join a server and wham I'm PJin like as if I was using dial up and got kicked from the host server. While this is happening I run a traceroute to the server with no packet loss or server timeouts (nodes timing out) .This is done both through MS-DOS and Neotrace. 

While I understand the complexity of troubleshooting something like this. I need to mention this.....

I was told by other q2/4 WOD devolpers (after reporting this) that its very possible that I am being flooded like a POD or DOS  by some POS. I asked if this is so, then why do all other internet apps work? 


Your thoughts?

Well, first off, I need to get a better idea of WHAT is happening, so next time you're lagging, turn on the netgraph and take a screenshot.  When I was playing sandtrap on my crappy ISP with a modem, my netgraph looked like this:



The black bars are packet loss.  These days on a stable cable connection, there's just a couple pixels of blue along the bottom.

Well so far so good. With 25+ people.   Can you bind " demo + netgraph1"  key?

[jitspoe]

You could, but that won't record the netgraph to the demo.

[loial21]

Dont need it to record just would like one bind.

Whats the bind?
bind y netgraph1 +r ecord ** ?

[jitspoe]

bind y "netgraph 1; record demoname"

Problem with that is, every time you use it, it will overwrite the previous demoname.dm2.  You also need a way to stop it, ie: bind z "netgraph 0; stop"

To all concerned parties what should be done about this..

 

[jitspoe]

I'd say a temp ban is in order for general disruptive behavior.

[KnacK]

I wonder what his ping was......

[loial21]

Ping remains under a hundred. As Side note, most pics I have of the netgraph showing 'networking issuses' that I have (that Jitspoe has asked for) have this person and one or two others being beaten like in this pic. I find this very suspicious. It seems as though if they cant win they tend to disrupt play this way on DM or another in CTF. How about a global temp, ban. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the responces.
