BO3 IP's, Pingplotter

[DumaRocks]

I wasn't sure if this is something we can find easily. I want to try and find the IP's of the servers COD is connecting me to. Is there a way to do this. I basically want to try and use a ping plotter on them to see if it is my ISP or if it is COD servers. Not real knowledgeable on this stuff but learning.

I might be switching consoles soon so it would be helpful to know if I will experience the same issues with COD due to ISP and not the actual COD servers if that makes sense. All evidence thus far leads to COD Servers but I wanted to do a true test against their servers if that is even possible.

You don't really need to use PingPlotter to test the servers, just test your own line. If your ping to large local servers (News sites, Twitter, etc) is smooth and jitter/spike free then you know it's not your line.

 

If anyone posts a method to get the server IPs in here it will be removed for obvious reasons.

Ok, I understand. I just been going back and forth with someone on this. They claim it maybe my ISP, something to do with the fact the cod servers may not be a common path Comcast takes or commonly peers with or something like that, this stuff is beyond my expertise, I don't really know.

Every test I have done with every other game and ever other domain shows I have no major latency hops, everyone stays under 15ms to 30ms. For me, that is good but I get spikes on COD servers from 65ms to 85ms plus. My duma reads me on google as around 20ms to 22ms rating the ping as good, 0 packet loss and everything as excellent. I wish I could get my ping down less than that but I know in game as long as I stay under 50ms the game is solid. Overwatch gives me 10ms to 15ms so from what I can gather, there is no way this could be my ISP but i am not sure if I am missing a big part of the puzzle.

What is the typical ping you're getting to a CoD server as shown by the duma ping graph? Are you using congestion control as well?

So here is my setup just to give you some insight. Before I break this down I do want to say that I played a lot yesterday and the connections were really good which leads me to believe it really has nothing to do with my setup, more so their servers and those that are connected to it. But here is the setup I have in case anyone wants to reference this or you have other suggestions or thoughts.

 

Duma ping bounces around a lot. I good game I get between 25ms to 55ms. Usually after about 50's is where I start seeing obvious issues. Over the past few weeks I have seen some jumps in the 100's plus. When I look at in game pings, sometimes my Duma pings are much lower like in the 30 range but my in game is reading much higher. Can't make sense of it.

Internet Connection:

Comcast Cable: 50-75 + Down / 12 Up Consistently

Various tests on different speed tests give me anywhere from 10ms to 30ms (20ms - 30ms) being the norm.

Duma diagnosis seems to give me 20ms to 22ms every time.

Ping: Good | The rest read excellent and always a 0 packet loss

Using DSLReports.com I get A+/A+ rating every time as long as my duma settings are optimized which I do before gaming.

 

I am the only one that uses this line and I shut off all wifi devices so my console and mac are the only things connected.

 

Under Congesting Control

Preemptive

Bandwidth: 40 Down / 10 Up (I seem to better readings when I lower these numbers than the normal)

Caps: 85 Down / 95 Up

Prioritization: Push console up to 70 on both. I am the only one using the line but I also have shared access on just in case.

HyperTraffic is on for xb1

 

Not sure if these matter but in Misc settings I unclick these but not sure why, I think someone recommended it at one point:

Enable deep packet processing

Enable link-local IPv6

 

Stealth and Turbo modes are unchecked by default and I leave it there.

From what you said about you base ping being between 10-30ms thats quite a fluctuation. I would use ping plotter on your line and see how much it fluctuates/spikes as that could be contributing

I would definitely run PP at least 2 times a day,one at peak times and one on a quiet network.And let them run not just for 15-30 minutes let it run for a few hours if possible.

 

You need to find out if there is an issue with noise on your line to rule it out.it's a process of elimination.

I have to  do more testing but I think I might have misspoken or not clarified. The 10ms to 30ms is across different ping tests like... speediest.net, pingtest.net, duma diagnosis etc. I realize they are all hitting different servers so the ping will be different. I will say, that duma diagnosis is almost always 20ms to 22ms, the other ones vary but I don't think they always pull from the same server.

You're right, they won't be hitting the same servers.

For an accurate test you'd need to have a handful of IPs that you ping regularly and see how they compare.

 

When I suspect my line, for example:

I test my ping on Ping Plotter to the BBC News website and Twitter UK servers. If the result are not what I'm expecting then I will ping a few additional servers as well.

 

When you said that you are seeing spikes on the Netduma ping graph (to a game host) are you viewing the Netduma GUI via a laptop on wifi?

 

I ask because I believe that when you run the 'Internet Diagnosis' from the Netduma, it will run the test from the Netduma and it simply displays the result on the laptop (so it is not affected by the laptop being on wifi).

However, when you ping a host from the Geo Filter, it will ping from the laptop itself - if your laptop is on wifi then your results will show additional spikes due the wifi.

i think cod dedi server are on https://www. vultr.com/

 

i dont know if you can find a ip and trace to check your connection.

 

for my is a waste of time.

 

cod bo3 is a broken game.

Ahh I see! I would still use PP on your line to see how stable it is and what consistent ping you usually get so you know if that is what could be affecting your experience.
