PingPlotter

Hi,

I am trying to use Pingplotter to find out why im having packet loss.

Im pinging google.com, but why are all the ip addresses like this: 2001:4860::c:4000:f874 ? shouldnt it be something like 162.151.69.213

What you're looking at is an IPv6 address which has been around for quite a few years now and is due to replace IPv4 (the latter mentioned IP addressing scheme) as far as I've heard we have officially exhausted all available IPv4 addresses globally so people and ISPs should be quick to get on the IPv6 train now.

Those are IPv6-addresses, the latter one is an IPv4-address.

Excuse me while I go and laugh myself silly in the corner.

Ah, I think I see what you're laughing at. When I said "should" I really meant "aught to" as in get there crap together cause if they don't it'll be problematic for people.

its weird because in cs go i get constant choke of 1-6% but with pingplotter pinging 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 i get 0% Packet loss. Am i doing something wrong?

That could be a connection problem anywhere between you and the server. If other games behave well with low pings then it's probably not you.

Whats also kinda weird is that im getting 0 packet loss pinging google.com with windows cmd and about 50% when pinging with pingplotter. Im getting really confused
