We're seeing some strange issues with our fiber connection to TWC in Ohio. Intermittent packet loss to/from some IPs. It gets as specific as from a certain IP outside our network, packets to a.b.c.10 are fine, but pings to a.b.c.50 (same subnet of same netblock) lose ~75% of the packets.

I like the Juniper EX2200C switches. They are only 12-port, but have 2 SFPs. They are very low power, and have no fans. However, I am still waiting (it has been several months) for them to send me the correct rack mount brackets (which are a separate purchase). -Randy -- | Randy Carpenter

FUD than fact. There _are_ things we need to address to make DHCPv6 easier to roll out (mainly on the server side), but just making bogus nitpick attacks distracts from the real issues, IMHO. On Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 6:12 PM, Randy Carpenter rcar...@network1.net wrote
