The ping spikes to 15ms once every few seconds or minutes. I've tried messing around with drivers & advanced settings, nothing. (I also tested this on a raspberry Pi, pinging to the router via ethernet and I don't get those spikes). | |

Typically the os will take the packet, swap src & destination addresses and send it back out the interface it came in. If it is due to RAM, then you would see major problems with your lan. | |

I will try to get a new pair of cables and I will try to mitigate with wireshark if it is a problem with my computer. I am suspecting it could be router which only has 256mb ram and this is generating some spikes. | |

You would need to look at the RTT of every packet and the loading on the network, host & target when it spikes. But really, it does not matter as these packets are given low priority. If you look at the results, the average is the same as the minimum suggesting it was only a single packet that spiked hinting that it was due to arp. | |
