Huge packet-loss lately(pls read).

Thanks Michael, got your graphs via email this morning and that should help.

Cheers for now

Packet loss... improvement.

Hi Ed

It seems currently (22:25 14/10/07) there is an improvement; however there is little network traffic at present.

The only IP that is still reporting packet loss is 96.30.31.120 (www.iburst.co.za) at hop 7 packet loss occurs after IP 66.8.42.22 and before IP 196.30.31.102.

Cape sites reflect: 65 ms ave.
Joburg sites reflect: 87 ms ave.
Intl. sites reflect: 405 ms ave.

Local BW test: 965.10 kbps (http://www.gam.co.za/)
Intnl BW test: 227.50 kbps (http://www.bandwidthplace.com/)

All is above normal, will test again tomorrow between 11 am and 3 pm when the network is at its worst.

Hopefully it remains good for a while.

Regards

M

Yup... end of the month salty crax again... Ive wasted so much bandwidth this month :(
 
Its exactly half way through the month?

And I'm already capped :( I guess I'll see you guys on the hub, but I really wasn't planing on getting capped so soon.
 
What do you use your bandwidth for? I've still got 7 Gigs left.

EDIT: EHV, there was a big security update for WinXP!

Well I've only got 3 Gigs for a month.

I had a lot of PC's on my network at my house over the holidays. And 3 PC's permanently in the house using the connection, other than that I download quite a bit of music and software.

But I am quite surprised at being capped this early, I'm not really sure where all the bandwidth went :/

Its getting worse.

Ed, might I suggest hiring Network Engineers that actually know how to look after a network? This amazing, its the 15th of the month and therefore everything goes bad thing is getting a little lame. Also, could someone look into the Blairgowrie (not sure if I spelt that right) tower. Its dropping me every couple of minutes.

Not all of it is due to iBurst...

Most of the loss is occurring on the UUNET/Verizon Network, download http://www.visualroute.com/lite.html then you can pinpoint who is supposed to be accountable...

Hi all

Just an update....

Looks like it is again with the upstream provider, and we have escalated to them. We await feedback. As soon as I have heard something I will post again.

I would be interested to know if there are any others that are experienncing the same problem.

Thanks
Ed

Every Friday is the same thing. I try to play WoW, with so many random disconnects. Useless... 2am in the evening is a ball to play. But I like my sleep. :(
