I am troubleshooting some connectivity problems I have while accessing the Internet. I´m using PingPlotter to monitor some hosts over a period of time. I have 2 comps behind a router. One will actively use the Internet and the other monitors the pings.
I have noticed that when I am using a steady stream of about 70% of my bandwidth capacity, ping values will increase considerably (even at the first hop).
I´m confused with this because it´s either a problem with my LAN/router or using ping like this will give false numbers.
Can I use bandwidth while reading ping values or should everything be quiet for true measurement? I would think 70% should provide ample room for pings going back and forth, if so, how do | interpret my results?
tks
