Breakdown in TelstraSaturn systems?
Anyone else having serious packet loss problems and who is using Netlink (TelstraSaturn) in Wellington? We've had failry consistent 30% packet loss since the weekend (when we lost all contact with the world for 4 hours and have had no reply from TelstraSaturn about what happened) yet this morning that has dropped back to 2% loss. I've replaced the NICs in our router and got the same packet loss result (damn it had been running 249 days 24/7 without a blip) so started checking further afield for problems... pinging our router from my home (on 56k modem) showed 18-29% packet loss, pinging the next IP out (our IP connection at Netlink) showed a 0% loss so I figured the problem lies between them and us somewhere.... then this morning everything seems to have sorted itself out....

Try using something like Matt's Traceroute (mtr) to see if you can spot where the packet loss occurs. -- Juha --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

I heard they had a few problems on Saturday, didn't affect us too badly though, AFAIK they cleared it up after a few hours. I heard paradise was offline for a few hours though. Have you called in a fault with them? -- Simon Lyall. | Newsmaster | Work: simon.lyall(a)ihug.co.nz Senior Network/System Admin | Postmaster | Home: simon(a)darkmere.gen.nz ihug, Auckland, NZ | Asst Doorman | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Yeah - I've always found TSNZ to be really good if you actually call in and log a fault with them. Helps with their metrics too. Dean --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
