The latency jumps have been happening in the NT ever since I can remember - it's amazing that whatever the issue is hasn't been resolved in the last half decade.

Bloody hell rec, how close to the city are ya?

1.3km from my local exchange, 5.1km from Internode servers themselves (Adelaide CBD).

3 hops once outside of my LAN, and two of those are within Internode's server farm. My house > local exchange > servers.

Darwin Pings have shot through the roof again :( what do I do?

Why does this happen?

Unfortunately due to the way Telstra route their data from Darwin to Adelaide, this happens sometimes.

How do we get it fixed?

All you need to do is log a support request here: cgi.internode.on.net/cgi-bin/support[Image: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/im/extlink.gif] and tell us that Darwin Pings are high again, post us a traceroute to games.internode.on.net and some pings if you don't mind.

The real nitty gritty as to why this happens: courtesy of Mark Newton

Ok, a bit of background is needed to answer this.

Firstly: Inside the deep, dark innards of Telstra's ADSL network, there's a protocol called ATM. ATM is used (grudgingly) by ISPs to talk to Telstra's IGR aggregation routers. It's also used INSIDE the ADSL network to connect each individual ADSL customer to their DSLAM, and each DSLAM to the aggregating IPSN (Shasta, ERX, whatever). The Ethernet frames which your ADSL modem transmits and receives are essentially bridged over ATM.

Secondly: As blackcoffee says, there's no ADSL aggregation point in the NT, so all ADSL traffic (for all ISPs) is carried back to Adelaide. As far as Telstra's ADSL network is concerned, Darwin, Katherine and Alice Springs don't exist in their own right, they're just suburbs of Adelaide. So the ATM PVCs which link NT DSLAMs to the aggregators are interstate.

Thirdly: ATM uses a protocol called SDH for long-haul transmission. SDH is old-school telco technology. Among other things, an SDH node can detect a link failure in less than 50 mSec. SDH is usually based on a "ring" topology, so you can get from any node to any other node by going clockwise or anticlockwise around the ring. Usually it's set up to prefer the direction which hops through the fewest number of SDH nodes to get to the destination (so in a ring through Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Cairns, Darwin and Alice Springs, traffic will ordinarily flow from Darwin to Adelaide via the "direct" anticlockwise path).

If SDH detects a link failure, it'll shunt traffic in the opposite direction around the ring to work around it. So, in the example ring described above, if the hop between (say) Darwin and Alice Springs was interrupted, within 50 mSec SDH would work out that it can go to Adelaide via Cairns, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and on to Adelaide. The fact that that path involves several thousand extra kilometers, many extra SDH "hops", and an extra 100 mSec of latency doesn't matter; Having packets arrive late is better than not having them arrive at all.

The ATM cells being carried by SDH are completely unaware when this happens. They know they've left Darwin and are going towards Adelaide; They don't care how they get there, as long as they arrive. So ATM doesn't think it's a fault when this occurs.

When the fault which caused the reversal of the ring is fixed, SDH does nothing. Traffic continues to flow in whatever direction it was flowing in before the fault was rectified.

All of this means that if the direct path from Darwin to Adelaide is interrupted for more than 50 mSec, all NT ADSL traffic flows the "long way around" the ring, and will continue to flow the long way around even if the fault is corrected until someone notices and manually flips the traffic back in the other direction. SDH doesn't consider that using the long path is a bug, because SDH is primarily used to build voice services, and as long as the latency is less than the maximum permissible latency for a voice telephone call everyone is happy.

Anyway, what this all means is that occasionally traffic for all ISPs to/from the Northern Territory is slow; When one ISP complains to Telstra about the extra latency, Telstra manually reverts the links and all ISPs get magically quicker again. SDH can be configured to do that automatically, but in this instance it hasn't.

Hi Aaron,

Thank you for your support request with Internode.

As with previous times this has happened, we have contacted Telstra and it appears that they may have fixed this for us already. Please do let us know if you're still experiencing bad ping times and if possible, send along an example as you have done in the past.

For now though, it should be restored to normal.

If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please reply to this email or contact our Helpdesk by phone on 1300 788 233.

its the 11th and im in palmo and this is still happening, im a bigpond customer and spoke to tech support on the phone, and they didnt really seem to care, he said the line speed is above the minimum amount it can be, so he cant log a job or something

Post 33

I had an email today from node, saying that they wanted another Ping request sent to them, and also they have asked those with node that this is still happening too, to contact them.

i am using bigpond 8mb broadband, my router is a netcomm NB5plus4W

i am in the Suburb of gunn. i would really like to know if it's somethign with me personally, or if these show telstra's shitty backup routing

thanks

Post 40

i'm in gunn too man, getting same 90ms-100ms pings, must be something with the palmy exchange now if the rest of darwin is back to normal.

Post 41

man that sucks ass, its been like this over a week :(

Post 42

I'm on Cas exchange and still sitting around 90's for ping to node. Awaiting reply from node as to when the problem will be fixed.

Post 43

as soon as you find out can you post it on here, as im with bigpond, you try to tell them and they basically tell you to get nicked

Post 44

no they tell you they do not care as its not in the contract to provide you with broadband speeds all the time.

Post 45

if i could change to internode i could. but i dont want to waste money paying out the contract if im not going to use it

Post 46

well I'm still down to 50ms on the cas exchange so don't know what the problem is.

Hi Aaron,

Thank you for your support request with Internode.

It does appear as though the problem has returned, we are currently looking in to the
matter again. It would be helpful if you know of anyone else with an Internode
connection, to get them to contact us with traceroute and ping information as well.
The sooner they contact us, the sooner we can get this fixed up again.

If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please reply to this email
or contact our Helpdesk by phone on 1300 788 233.

Kind regards,

Kirsty

We'll be back to you soon

Maybe they should setup a link for Darwin users on the lodge helpdesk page saying something like - "Click here if your ping is fuxored and you want us to get telstra to do something about it" - wouldnt have to do pings and tracerts and type bulk shit anymore :D

Post 72

start a new thread nub

Post 73

this forum will have the same thread every 2 weeks if i did that

Post 74

starting a new thread for each spike.... that would be interesting
side note: there are guys outside the case exchange doing some work today...
might be the cause for the latency

Post 75

Or it could be one of a plethora of other pieces of work that needs doing on a weekly basis. :)

Post 76

Post 87

bad here in palmo :(

They said they can't do anything about it unless people are getting a 3% packet loss....

Post 88

Are people still having issues with their ping?

Post 89

Yup yup

Post 90

Internode has told me that there hasn't been many reports. If people are still having problems please report them.

On internode the support page is https://secure.internode.on.net/webtools/support

Post 91

Reported, I also sent them an email about 6 days ago and have heard nothing back, I mentioned that when I submitted to there support page too.

They need a 3% loss before telstra will do anything, So I said most of internode users are games, and a higher ping means alot to these people.

Hopefully something happens :(

Post 92

Anyone Still having problems?

Its been a fair wihle since it has been fixed.

not happy jan :P

Post 93

yeah, it was fixed about a day, then went back to the 100's

I've put in another ticket to Internode.

Post 94

havn't had a problem at all.

Post 95

I still have a problem. They tell me that not many people have put a ticket in this time so it's more likely my PC :( But then it is also my laptop, my sons PC and both my routers.

Post 96

its not you bud :) ..

hope that makes your day better :D

Post 97

Finally got some positive communications.
