Mobile network latency spike - network aspiring to become a storage medium (up to 107 *seconds* of round trip time, 83s average).
This was a 3rd run after the issue started.
At first I got 40% packet loss, then 2%, and finally, 0% somehow.
Where even are the packets for that long?

0% packet loss is really impressive.
How can the caches of intermediate systems even be large enough to presumably store 100 seconds of incoming traffic?
Morse code link?
Satellite link?
Whatever your network topology is, the buffers are keeping all of the packets for reconnection, that's why you have 0% packet loss. So either you have very constrained links, and huge packet buffers, or you have very long links (moon and back a few times)
Try the same test with iperf3, see if you can characterize the buffer depth of your critical path
This was just a random slow down for around 5 minutes. Can't reproduce :(
Using a network connection as a storage medium? What a fascinating idea
Is that github? /s
