Novice packet sniffing question: Several connections to Google cloud services [duplicate]

        Hi as the subject states,

I’ve got a whole block of connections on ‘TIME_WAIT’ to google cloud IPs (based on IP lookups). I’ve been trying to understand my network activity during networked gaming sessions. I’ve been experiencing sudden spikes in latency and wanted to determine if any background processes are contributing to this.

Heres a summary of one of these connections

1911800 7059.093137 34.98.122.109 192.168.1.170 TCP 60 443 → 63083 [ACK] Seq=3458 Ack=792 Win=65535 ***=0

After using netstat -ano ive seen there are a block of IPs all linked to google cloud services with no PID related. Would assume this connection is being enabled by system processes (i.e svchost.exe)

Can anyone explain if this is normal background connection established by programs like Google chrome. I DID not have google chrome open nor any other applications. During these sessions the only software open are game clients. I’ve shut down all background applications with network connectivity as well.
