I ran PingPlotter from my cable modem point to a rr.com DNS machine
which was 5 hops, entirely through the rr network, over 24 hours,
the
average rtt latency was 17 ms with practically no skew or deviation
and
zero ping loss, at 6 AM on a Monday, and ranged from 50 to 120 ms
with
maybe 10% loss between 7 and 11 PM on Sunday night. This shows just
the contention with other regional TimeWarner cable users. The
latency
always shows a big peak (i.e. slower response) in the evening.
I can see bursts of activity where the response grinds to a halt for
so many
seconds, then recovers. Perhaps I lost my place in the internet
heirarchy
to an 8 year old kid playing video games. Ah the fairness of it
all...
