I would like to hear from anyone using v16 in a WAN environment. Frankly every time I have tried out v16 or for that matter any v15 R release I have been shocked at how poor the network connection stability has been.
It seems to stem from the new networking layer and certainly it seems to be more stable when the legacy networking checkbox is checked but frankly it scared me off being an early adopter. I now have a little time to look at this again but wanted to gather some information from the community before I proceed with more testing. Are there any recommended settings and configurations I should look at? Some background: All our servers are running on Windows Servers mixture of 2008 and 2012. - 90% are dedicated hosted servers with a few in-house servers - Multiple databases run on our hosted servers on separate ports - WAN connection for each server is dedicated 100Mb - Client connections vary from domestic grade ADSL, Virgin Cable and Leased lines - Clients are a mixture of platforms 90% Windows 7, 8 & 10 and 10% OSX We have occasionally had issues with certain clients broadband connections but all in all v15 stability has been good. Issues I was seeing with v16 were: - Client connection timeout errors - Clients which had logged off, showing as connected to the server Am I missing some key documentation in this area or maybe some new networking layer tech note?
