Latency

[Dimitri Muskens]

JamKazam is very cool!  Need some help or clarification with network response.  A couple of months back, I could connect with acceptable latency.  Now, the app always reports my latency as 30ms+.  My speedtest is showing 1Gb/sec.  Pings to you show 40ms+ average.  A tracerte to a dallas.nodebalancer shows about 2ms response time and then shows no further network devices.  I suspect the latency is not on my side?  Is that to be expected at the current time?  I understand you have a lot of activity.  I can connect fine and start a session, albeit with the notice my latency is high on my gear.  

I noted the port forwarding posts but it was working perfectly before and UDP ports shouldn't be causing latency issues.  

I can connect, it's just the latency shown in the session by the app.  Is the latency shown in the app the actual latency, or is it a false indication?

Please advise.  Content to wait if it is a network performance or server capacity issue on your side.  Happy Easter!  

Thanks!

The jkz app creates a p2p session with the people you're connecting/playing with. So the server takes no part in that and therefore does not add any latency to the situation.
Your latency being 30+ is worth investigating. Where are you picking up this delay? Is it jitter, is in your gear or in your internet/network connection? The total latency of a p2p connection should be as low as you can get it. Typically anything under 20ms will be a very 'playable' situation.
Your gear should be (way)under 10ms really to have any chance of reaching the above.
