I did some testing last night. I zoned into Yxtta, summoned my 9 groups of bots (54). After attacking a few mobs, I got the lag. Logged out and back in, summoned bots, got lag. Next time, I logged back in, didn't summon bots and still had the lag build up.
I did a packet capture and noticed a few things. The packets causing the issue weren't packets recognized by eqextractor, it was one packet back and forth : 12 bytes to server, 72 (if I remember correctly) back. If they didnt occur only when running eqemu, and with bots, i would think it wasnt eqemu related. I know I was debugging most of the time, but I dont think I was all the time.
Are you able to do packet collects? That might help to determine if it's the same issue I'm having.
When I did not have the lag isses, My network utilization high was around 0.25% , 6-7% with lag. I know exact numbers are mostly meaningless, bit relative differences are not. I was later able to fight to and take out the Primal Lizard with no lag issues, and everything seemed normal. I'll try to do some more testing this weekend, but will be out of town for most of it.
Anyone mess with packets enough to help me decifer these packets? I can figure out ports and what the actual data is, but cant tell if it's an eq packet, the opcode if it is, etc.
