Inexplicable high ping on Fabric modded server
Hello, I'm here with a strange problem that I don't really know how to troubleshoot. I have a lot more experience as a spigot/paper server admin from back in the day, for a small public server. These days, I'm hosting a private fabric modded server with my own modpack for a few friends.
I run a 1.20.1 fabric modpack with a few big content mods (Create, Botania, Aquamirae, etc.) and a lot of optimization mods as well. Not sure how to dump a full list of mods but if there's a command I can use for that I would post it here.
The problem: Every so often, players will experience unusually high ping. Sometimes they experience extremely high ping on joining, other times it just happens randomly while playing normally. Sometimes it's both. I find this happens more often to players in other countries, I have a friend from Canada who experiences ping issues more often, but it happens just as much to people who live in the US, too. (Server is hosted in Texas, my host is ExtraVM). I'm already running Krypton on both the client and server side, so I'm a bit puzzled on what to do about this issue, or how to even begin to troubleshoot it. The server performance is actually stellar with all the optimization mods, It's rare to see mspt go over 20 or 30. If anyone knows how I can troubleshoot these issues with ping, I would really appreciate it! Thank you 😄
