Update to Server IP Change.
I am seeing some failures on the game server redirection within DNS during connection:
89 33.441292 139.130.4.4 10.103.1.155 DNS 96 Standard query response 0x5303 Server failure A navyfieldusa-sdenternet2.ktics.co.kr
The client after several attempts to connect then fails back to using a direct ip address 52.9.175.40 This is a single AWS server instance and is not clustered.
I suspect that the client launcher code and server connection script require investigation.
This aws server ec2-52-9-175-40.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com sub instance ip 52.9.175.40 appears in the common ARIN block of addresses assiged to Amazom Technologies Inc.
NetRange: 52.0.0.0 - 52.31.255.255
CIDR: 52.0.0.0/11
NetName: AT-88-Z
NetHandle: NET-52-0-0-0-1
Parent: NET52 (NET-52-0-0-0-0)
NetType: Direct Allocation
OriginAS:
Organization: Amazon Technologies Inc. (AT-88-Z)
I have confirmed via my sources that Amazon only allow this IP block to be used in their USA datacentres.
The game Update servers now appear to be in a cluster IP 101.79.148.100-200.
Loadbalancing appears to be operational, however these are still located within Korea IP Allocation space at CDNetworks
inetnum: 101.79.148.0 - 101.79.148.255
netname: CDNETWORKS-KR
descr: CDNetworks
country: KR
admin-c: YK603-KR
tech-c: YK603-KR
status: ALLOCATED PORTABLE
Overall I see a minor improvement in ping speed and route stability, however will require some investigation within the amazon network as to location of the single server instance which I will do in the next month, I have set a monitor to check routing.
The Navyfield client has the same stability issues due to the underlying game code and the game launcher requires further attention.
