    What is the Basic Information That Needs to be Gathered for Latency Troubleshooting?
    list-menuFeedback?

    What is the basic information that needs to be gathered for latency troubleshooting?

    What information should I gather to report a latency / lag issue?


    Solution:

    When reporting a latency issue, it is important to capture the information below:

    • Internet Service Provider - The ISP which you use to connect to the Internet. (Example: Comcast, AT&T, Surewest, etc)
    • What type of connection is being used. (Example: T1, Cable, DSL, etc)
    • Location - Your physical location. (Example: Sacramento, CA)
    • Traceroute:
      • How To Do a Traceroute in Windows:
        1. Do one of the following:
        • On Windows 7: Go to the Start menu, then type cmd into the Start Search or Search programs and files field and press enter.
        • On Windows 10: Type cmd in the Type here to search field on the taskbar, then press the enter key.
        1. Type the following command in the Command Prompt: tracert [sitename].webex.com (Example: tracert abc.webex.com).
        2. Press Enter.

          You will see a series of numerical rows or may see rows full of asterisks (*) after the trace is complete.
           
        3. Copy the content from the Command Prompt:
          1. In the top left corner of the Command Prompt window click the MS DOS (it is usually displayed as C:\) icon.
          2. Select Edit > Select All.
          3. Click on the MS Dos icon again, then select Edit > Copy.
          4. Open Microsoft Notepad or Word, then select Edit > Paste.
          5. Save the file.
