I would recommend running it on both sides (your client and the game
server) monitoring local links (client/server <-> ISP next hop router)
and end-to-end (client <-> server). Four monitors in total. You might
run into issues if your ISP blocks direct communication with their
routers. Cross your fingers.
You could also consider a game which is less concerned with latency. :)
