Hi all,
Hope the last NANOG was good, I was supposed to go, but alas business
got in the way.
I've got a question about an issue I'm seeing with some DSL clients. It
may not be limited to Redback's SMS, but that's the platform being used,
so I won't speak in generalities.
Occasionaly clients connected via ATM PVC's experience packet loss after
reconnecting due to power loss. The line sync is fine, but packet
loss of between 40 - 60% occurs. Only once I've used "clear sub
<subscriber>" to disconnect the session does the packet loss stop.
Anyone know why that would be?
I'd appreciate any insight or a push in the right direction regarding
this, thanks.
