What application are you using and how are you connecting?

I would look for a timeout parameter in the client. But the problem seems
to be an unreliable or congested network, which may be outside your control.

It might be worth running more pings to get an accurate picture.
e.g. ping -q -c 1000

Subject: Ping & traceroute

Hi all,

I run a ping & traceroute test to and from my server.

The ping test reply is below 5 seconds (from pc to server & server to pc),
but the traceroute from pc to server is 54sec, and from server to pc is 70
sec.

Whenever this happens my client will not be able to connect the application
to the server.

Under normal weather, if the ping test < 5sec & traceroute < 5sec, my
client's application can connect to the server.

Can anyone help me to interpret the ping and traceroute results
