High ping on my own self-hosted server
I have got my laptop running Linux to host a small Minecraft server.
But I usually get ~40ms ping (same network) and my friends in the same country get ~50
The weird thing is I pinged my laptop and it shows 2ms results? Very confusing :D
Thank you in advance

Are you using paper then that ping might not reflect the real network ping. Noticed that a while ago. Because packets seem to get scheduled to the next tick end.

are you using wifi?
yeah, but pinging normally in a terminal shows 2ms consistently
very very weird
wifi just isn't consistent
consistent (enough) though
I'd try using ethernet, see if that solves the issue, if it doesn't, come back here
doesnt explain the high baseline ping
I WOULD but unfortunately just isn't possible for me right now
(broken ethernet port :P, will fix later ™️ )

Yeah, I am using paper
just due to the way tcp works, minor packet loss can substantially increase latency
so I definitely believe the latency spikes your seeing could be cased by wifi
I forgot to terminate ping xD, so here is your answer
packet loss may not be the right word, but wifi has collisions which cause increased latency
i don't know, but it seems pretty darn stable to me from the ping results
wifi collisions can only be avoided if all devices on the wifi channel use wifi 6. This is every device on the channel, including your neighbors on a different network
again though, tcp must be recieved in order, so if a packet takes 6ms or 10ms to send, all the other packets have to wait for that delayed packet to be sent before they can get decoded
true
alright, i will keep this in mind
since the ping is pretty playable though
1 question unrelated to this though
hm?
i enabled tnt duping in paper-global.yml, but it doesn't work
any ideas?
they do state that they aren't officially supported
I haven't personally tried it though
oh well
i will make the switch to fabrico nce i have to time to get all the mods and stuff
marking as solved
