slow ECM times

Re: slow ECM times

As @herrr said, ping not only server, but some known page and post the results here, in order to help you further.

For a first, general check, you can also use this simple tool...but be careful and wait at the beginning, cause there is some spam...

Re: slow ECM times

Aren't these local cards that you're seeing the improvement on though SatWaveDude?

I'm talking about adsl ,
I don't know much about vdsl , maybe a vdsl line has the same problems when it is in interlive path.

As @herrr said, ping not only server, but some known page and post the results here, in order to help you further.

Well VDSL modems are also connected to a DSLAM via copper wire so I guess it's the same technique!?

Re: slow ECM times

hi,
the closest O963 hop i have is 3 hops away, i know this person and he has a 10mb up / 50mb down connection and we have decent pings times to each other.

If you know the person, install oscaminfo plugin.
Client side config requires ip and port used by oscam's monitor but also requires that oscam admin allows your ip.
Tell him to refer to monitor section of oscam.conf.
With oscaminfo working, you can compare the ecm time when originating from oscam server and the correspondig ecm time when arriving to your receiver.
The difference is the delay introduced by the network/hops.
This is the only way to evaluate and check if and where you can improve the overall performance.

Re: slow ECM times

@gianni253 thanks for that, will give it a go when i have some time.

on a different note, my ECM times are much improved lately.
i changed rehares and hop counts down and my ECM's are clearing much much faster.
i suspect my link was just being overloaded a bit with requests.

thanks to all for the comments and suggestions.
