Have been racking my brains trying to solve a problem, and I suddenly remembered an issue that Telecom had regarding "micro-outages".

Does this problem still exist?

Our problem comes up with a customer using chat rooms in the Moodle Learning Management System, for students in remote locations. The chat room relies upon a persistent socket connection for the duration of the "chat". Perhaps for 30+ mins or so at a time.

However students and teachers are regularly dropped. The Chat daemon is basically a socket server, and the only way I can see this happening is if the socket connection is broken. We do not see this effect in LAN trials.

kind regards
