Hi David,
Chris: Are you the official administrator of the
AMPRGW FreeBSD host now?
Yes, I am.
I’ve been doing some tests from the gw and it looks like there is some packet loss
upstream depending on which route the packets are going, for example I ran a 100 count
ping to one of my servers in the UK and got no packet loss at all with a consistent RTT:
--- 85.199.212.83 ping statistics ---
100 packets transmitted, 100 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 147.366/147.491/151.369/0.409 ms
Then I ran a test to 98.143.158.201 (the IP WB7AWL was using for his test) and I got 2%
loss with varying RTT:
--- 98.143.158.201 ping statistics ---
100 packets transmitted, 98 packets received, 2.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 3.514/12.592/209.460/30.918 ms
I’ve repeated these tests a few times and looked at the routes taken and it does seem to
indicate that the gw machine itself is not the issue. I will have a discussion with the
folks at UCSD and let you know what transpires.
Regards,
Chris
