I'm really curious as to whether anyone has experience with this. I'm running 3.0-CURRENT, and have just upgraded to the newest source tree (as of today) in the hopes of reducing/eliminating the following 'hills and valleys': ================= # netstat -nr Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 127.2.2.2 UGSc 12 0 tun0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 1 44 lo0 206.231.247.114 206.231.248.173 UH 0 0 tun0 # ping 206.231.247.114 PING 206.231.247.114 (206.231.247.114): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 206.231.247.114: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=244.708 ms 64 bytes from 206.231.247.114: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=260.234 ms 64 bytes from 206.231.247.114: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=2310.207 ms 64 bytes from 206.231.247.114: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=1320.183 ms 64 bytes from 206.231.247.114: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=1730.196 ms 64 bytes from 206.231.247.114: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=2390.181 ms 64 bytes from 206.231.247.114: icmp_seq=6 ttl=64 time=1390.230 ms 64 bytes from 206.231.247.114: icmp_seq=7 ttl=64 time=490.176 ms 64 bytes from 206.231.247.114: icmp_seq=8 ttl=64 time=240.180 ms 64 bytes from 206.231.247.114: icmp_seq=9 ttl=64 time=2100.158 ms ================= This is just me talking to the other end of my PPP link, with the only load on the link being the ping session. No ftp, no telnet, no nothing. Now, the other end of the link is: ============ Aug 23 22:13:15 thelab ppp[181]: Phase: PapInput: ACK Aug 23 22:13:15 thelab ppp[181]: Phase: Received PAP_ACK (Welcome to NetBlazer) ============ A NetBlazer. Has anyone ever noticed this when talking to a Netblazer? I remember back in the UUCP days that talking ??->Telebit would give bad 'interactive' response times, but still? Thanks... Marc G.
