Seeby,
We have had this problem before. Well are still having it with our Tangent 100Mb. I will see what I can find. Would you like to peer with us also once your link is up and running.
If you do provide us with a prefix list and I or one of the other guys will sort it all out.
Hi there everyone
Orcon has just had a 10Mbit IPExpress connection to APE completed, and I have been fighting with it all day.
If we ping anyone on APE, then we get around 2/3's of the pings through, and 1/3 are dropped. This happens in a pattern of 1/3 drop, 2/3 get through.
I talked with Clear and they said that it could be the IPExpress connection re-negotiating because of what is on our end, so we have been playing with the settings on our Catalyst 5000 switch - we have forced the port to our IPExpress connection full duplex / half duplex / 100mb / 10mb but they all seem to give the same results.
Clear has advised us to set our equipment to 10Mbit full duplex - so
Hi there Tim
I don't want to put any traffic over to APE until this link is working
properly.
As you know, BGP won't detect packet loss, so it is still better to keep
sticking all our Traffic via Telecom until this issue is resolved.
As soon as the link works reliably - then we will want to peer with everyone
that we can.
Hopefully we'll be able to get sub 10ms pings to most ISP's in the country
at the end of this
;-)

what it is at present.
The connection from IPExpress is then VLan'd from our Catalyst switch into our core Cisco 7505 router.
A ping report of 300 pings to ihug.ape.net.nz looks like this
--------------------------------------------------- ORCON7505#ping Protocol [ip]: Target IP address: ihug.ape.net.nz Repeat count [5]: 300 Datagram size [100]: Timeout in seconds [2]: Extended commands [n]: Sweep range of sizes [n]: Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 300, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.203.154.36, timeout is 2 seconds: ........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...........!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...........!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!..........!!!!!!!! Success rate is 65 percent (197/300), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/3/24 ms --------------------------------------------------
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Is this related the the spanning tree problems that have been happening up at APE recently? Or should we be hassling Clear about the service.....
