Bad pings, lag. Possible suspect line/modem.

This is not just limited to just today.  This happens frequently.  My Cisco phone constantly has to reconnect.

Try talking over a VPN phone while you have a >9000 ping.

Dear p o,

 

You should understand that the ping command uses ICMP messages which must be processed in device CPU as opposed to the switching fabric.  In addition, ICMP messages often receive lower priority that other traffic.  All this makes ping measurements of round trip delay (RTT) problematic at best. 

 

For any given application, the most realistic RTT measurements must be made with application protocol packets.

 

The best one can conclude from your data is that there is occasional network congestion affecting ICMP ping measurements. This may or may not be correlated to application protocol problems.  More data is needed.  In fact, even the oracle address you are pinging may actually be different boxes at different times since there is no established connection.  One cannot determine this without more data. There is no indication of where the delay is actually introduced into the ping path. It is also not clear if this is a 24/day problem or limited to certain hours.

 

Having said all that, are you certain that it is Comcast causing the problem?  Have you done a traceroute to determine how many hops and what network providers are involved?  Define frequently both in duration and time of day. Let us know what you determine and we might actually be able to provide cogent advice.

Been reading other threads, this Netgear CG3000DCR is highly suspect. 

 

Can we use our own modems?  I have a D-Link that has served me well for years I would rather use.

My apologies, venting, frustration, etc in my opener.  Attached is an mtr run to google.com.  It appears my modem or line is suspect.mtr.jpg

Maybe not totally related, maybe it is but the IP 71.200.216.1 is on four different blacklists.

 

Now I'm not focusing on that the network maybe couldn't reliably serve and receive mail but it may be an indication of flooding by local devices causing an issue here...

 

edit: this is if in fact 71.200.216.1 is your IP
