Use of switches and lag

Hmm each device has to talk to each other. I notice a 1-5ms talk time between the device. So the more devices the more talk time it had to do on each device. That's how I look at it.

Assuming they are decent, plain switches, you should see sub-millisecond latency from it.

 

If they are retrofitted routers or just cheap, all bets are off, could have terrible firmware.

Unlikely to have any issues or noticeable latency then, all such a switch does is route from one port to another based on MAC addresses. Firmware will be minimal, if not entirely based in hardware.

I am using exactly the same Netgear switch at home for a long time and I do not feel any lag.

I do not know how your setup is, but I guess it is this way: Modem/Gateway -> Netduma R1 -> Netgear switch.

If it is, then you can check whether you get lag by pressing the Windows button (assuming you use Windows),

typing "cmd" (without the quotation marks). Make a traceroute to 8.8.8.8 by typing "tracert 8.8.8.8" (again without the quotation marks)

into your command line. If you now get any latency higher than 1 ms between your first and your second hop, then you have got lag.

But even then it does not mean it is the fault of the Netgear switch.

yes, i run star configs of the wired network, so:

 

modem>r1>switch>devices

                >switch>devices

                >device

                >device

 

etc.

 

i am just looking at all possibilities for packet backups.

Ok. That's the same setup that I did use some time ago. From my experience there should be no issue for you.

But you could do the trace route test for confirmation.

i wish i had 11 friends who played CoD and would just have LAN parties. even just 7... if they only had this when i was in college i would have never dropped out.

I feel your pain. I used to play a lot of Quake in LAN back in the 90s when I was still in school.

Nowadays, many of my friends have already turned away from Call Of Duty.

Gaming is not the same as it used to be back in the 90s or earlier 2000s. Sadly.

We can say, Call Of Duty is going to die. Maybe just 3 years and it is over.
