Seems like it goes through some random 15-30s spikes of running players' ping to 999. Host getting bombed, dos/ddos, other?

What's up with the lag on bZ1.5 lately?
- Thread starter SanitizedName
- Start date
This has happened at least 4 or 5 times today alone, and 3 or 4 yesterday.

Its just EA's way of saying. "BFBC2 Is done. Your next."
It's the fucking Russians. They're attacking everyone right now.
At my place it got so bad that our cowardly executives FINALLY allowed me to geo-block fucking Russia and China (where some of the traffic is being routed to circumvent geo-blocking)
If you want to block this shit then join MS-ISAC and get their list of IP addresses to block or just get CrowdStrike and let them isolate this shit for you as it comes up.
We used to have CrowdStrike and they were so good that we no longer had any problems. So our stupid fucking idiot managers decided that this meant there were no problems and they cancelled CrowdStrike. Now I'm back to doing this shit manually on the firewall.

seems like something whomever hosts the bZ servers needs to do. maybe they're not aware, but i'd be surprised if not. my company constantly monitors our cloud and network services for anomalies and shuts shit down when things look even remotely wonky

what exactly do the russians stand to gain from attacking bf4 servers? like, why would they do that
doubtful they are "attacking" bf4 servers. however, what else it attached to said networks? hmmmmmm
I think bZ replaced servers not too long ago but bZ1.5 was not one of them. Is it time to do the same for 1.5?

1.5 is in a different datacenter than the rest. 1-6 are in central US whereas 1.5 and 11 are Eastern US. That being said, the upgrade was the CPU, the networking bandwidth should be near identical.

I thought 1 was in Chicago and 1.5 in Atlanta?
Appeal Denied - Ban Appeal: SPARC10
In-game Name SPARC10 Have you cheated before? No What's your side of the story as to why you were banned? I have been very rude and at times wont keep my mouth shut, at times I may make comments that are not right and for that I'm very sorry, I'm asking banzore to unban me please, I have...

It could be this guy LOL
Yeah the server IP is public info and I looked them up. So, unless they're being spoofed for some reason, then they're Chicago and Atlanta
Chicago is Central Time Zone and Atlanta is Eastern Time Zone. Bill Nye would know this.
There wasn't any mention of time zones, Ricky. Go tell someone from Atlanta that they're not from the south, they're from the east and see what they say.
So Chicago is not central and Atlanta not in the eastern portion of the US. Someone call Bill Nye asap.
If you're talking time zones, sure, but Chicago is more Midwest and Atlanta Southern if you're talking culturally. Julian would have known that.

Illinois is considered both midwest and central, however I was referencing what time zone the servers use based on their location but it's not a big deal.
Back to the original question of the thread, there's nothing more bZ can do in regard to the lag or stuttering. It'd be our hosting provider that has the issues with attacks and packet loss. Banzore has no access to the backend network infrastructure that the servers are hosted on, nor can we make any adjustments. Also due to EA legal agreements, we cannot host BF4 servers ourselves, we have to rent from an approved provider, no exceptions. As was mentioned above, we upgraded the CPU on the main server that hosts 1-6 from a 2288G to an AMD 5950x processor which did improve some performance however the above issues are not directly hardware related.
