I run a small network in the jungle of Venezuela which is fed by a =
rebranded Hughesnet connection. We just had a four day failure where the =
only protocol that worked was ICMP and we were completely without =
communication. Traceroutes all failed in a bizarre way when using UDP, =
TCP or GRE packets but traceroute with ICMP worked fine. Our provider =
(Bantel) is blaming Hughesnet but I'm not finding anything to back that =
up in forums or in searching the web. I don't want to bother this =
forum's members with my questions regarding what the traceroute results =
show and what the problem might be. Is there another forum where these =
questions would be appropriate? Thanks in advance.
