Have sent in a ticket for MechWarrior Online... how long does this process take for the traffic to be prioritised?

Hi, I was wondering if anything had happened with Firebuoys request.
The game is impossible to play in the evenings.
Thanks

Re: What to do if you suspect a game is being incorrectly traffic shaped

Has The Elderscrolls Online been added to the list & updated for the route to the new EU datacentre?
I ask because the rubberbanding has increased dramatically since the EU server move to Germany.

Re: What to do if you suspect a game is being incorrectly traffic shaped

Unless the specific signature of the game changes then updates to their data centres shouldn't cause any issues.
Did you find what was causing the rubber banding?

Looks like ae-4-90.edge3.Frankfurt1.Level3.net [4.69.154.199] & Zenimax's internal network at Level3's Frankfurt datacentre

Re: What to do if you suspect a game is being incorrectly traffic shaped

I am having the same issue in Level3 for guild wars 2.
Mods: what shall I look for in tcpdump/wireshark or whatever else libcap based apps ?
Could we have a tcpdump example syntax to run on ppp0 ?

Re: What to do if you suspect a game is being incorrectly traffic shaped

As I've mentioned in another thread we've just updated our traffic management signatures this afternoon. Destiny was in there so do let us know if you notice any difference. It should be prioritised now as you'd expect.

Re: What to do if you suspect a game is being incorrectly traffic shaped

Quote from: Strat
If you suspect a game is being prioritised incorrectly on Plusnet's systems you can perform a Wireshark capture and either check the data yourself or submit it on a ticket to Plusnet.

This looks pretty intimidating. Is there some way I can check, from the name of the game or something like that, what settings are being used by you.
(I am, alas, getting rather cynical about "not our problem" responses from Helpdesks.)

Re: What to do if you suspect a game is being incorrectly traffic shaped

Seeing as they removed the ticket option its no longer possible to report a games incorrect traffic queue, OP could do with updating if there is another way to send a capture to PN or not
