High Latency and Packet loss
The Past couple of days I have been experiencing Latencies (Ping) of over 200ms and packet loss from 85%-100% pinging. Anyone else experiencing this?
If you want to know more about ICMP packet propagation and latency I found a very good resource. Using ICMP for the mechanics of the Netgate failover is probably a poor choice. The document pretty much covers trace routing and the mechanics extremely well. Working in the industry for 22 years I know ICMP does receive low priority but is used all the time.
Based on that article it would be interesting to know if Ookia uses an MPLS core. If they are doing ICMP tunneling that would explain why their PING latency results are how they are vs pings from a client through the normal T-Mobile solution. I sort of think they do.
