shellshock Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 On all SSCX zones, I'm getting HORRIBLE packetloss. I've run countless traces, and 95% of the time it's coming from one router, now another one is kicking in and making it worse. Both problem routers are through ATDN network. Anyway to get these issues resolved? Anyone to complain to? I went to the atdn site, and their was nothing there i could find to help. ANY suggestion would be appreciated.Ok, So I know this isn't a continuum problem, hoping someone can help me find out what to do though. Quote
Mr Ekted Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 Routes on the internet are not necessarily symmetric. So a one-way trace is not always what it looks like. This image shows a trace from you to the zone, with the red arrows showing the paths of the trace packets and the "error" returns. Traces to A come back through the same path, so latency and packetloss are pretty accurate. However, replies to traces to B come back through a different route. If the router C is having problems, you may get late packets or none at all, making it look like router B is not replying. The only way to get a better picture of what's going on is to have a sysop *trace you from the server as well. http://home.maine.rr.com/user/ekted/trace.jpg Quote
