P2P Networking Challenges in Israel Impacting Gaming

Executive Summary

Major P2P issues in Israel and possibly other middle east countries #398 Description I am not sure i am in the right place but we are all out of options here since we couldn't get any help from the game or steam support. Since around the 13/03, there is a major systemic problem in every game that uses Steam Networking for P2P games. For example, in the game Street Fighter 6, when playing with one Israeli or another with PC to PC the ping between players are ~120ms. when playing with European players the ping is around 60-80ms which means it works well, it currently affects only Israeli players
