I Got Time out

I think there should be an algorithm that detects poor internet connection and avoids getting a player timed out because currently i am timed out and its not because i dont start or finish my games it due to very poor connection. Thanks.

The problem with this is that even if lichess had a magic algorithm that detected bad internet, people would try and abuse it in order to benefit themselves.

Play longer games. A system you're proposing couldn't be reasonably implemented. Even lag compensation often has some back and forth.

Thanks but i also experience lagging when i make first move or my opponent makes a move an i dont move

You are given more time for the first move in longer games as well. Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done on lichess' side to help those with exceptionally poor connection.

Actually such an algorithm exists and there is no magic involved: the utility is called "traceroute" and it works similar to "ping", but with UDP datagrams (with an increasing TTL set) on behalf of the originator instead of ICMP echo requests. Answers are in both cases ICMP packets. It is fairly easy to implement a low-frequency QoS monitor around the algorithm used in "traceroute". For more details see: W. Richard Stevens, TCP/IP Illustrated, Vol. 3 and also his influential work on TCP/IP congestion control.

#6 I don't think he was being literal. I've read it as adding to the effect of the actual argument, being that it could fairly easily be abused. But even ignoring that, I can see it creating many more problems than it would solve.
