- Becky7 years agoModeratorHi Jrdn, thanks for posting these. Your results seem to follow normal ICMP prioritization protocols. The timeouts once the traceroute reaches the AWS server are expected. Amazon Web Services servers don't return ping requests; they block ICMP packets for network security reasons. We request trace routes because we're looking for issues along the path to the AWS server that may indicate an issue on the Cox network. Our investigation is ongoing. -Becky, Cox Support Forums Moderator

Sounds good becky. I just ran the traceroutes on the same IPs from the ones in this thread. Last night, I played for about two hours and had two to three games with packet loss which is the opposite of what happened prior. I'm not sure how to get the IP of the server I'm experiencing packet loss on.

Can we get an update on to how many more months it's going to take to fix this.

Great Becky! Bet you don't game! Bet that investigations going well! Bet you can't provide any real updates! Bet you can't explain why I get zero packet loss hot spotting through my phone but the minute I plug your service in it all comes right back! Bet you can't help the cause much! Please, prove me wrong! Escalate the issue, write an internal email, make an actual difference!
- Becky7 years agoModeratorHi Everyone, we have been in constant communication with our network administrators since folks began posting about latency and packet loss issues when playing games hosted by AWS. The issue was initially traced to a line card. The line card was being overloaded during peak hours, resulting in packet loss. The line card was replaced on 9/3/18. Since then, our network administrators have reviewed routing protocols and run hundreds of traceroutes, MTRs, pathpings, and looking glass routing queries. They have found no route anomalies or increased latency at the hand-off point to Amazon. -Becky, Cox Support Forums Moderator
