Issue 3041: DNS pre-fetching causes frequent internet loss http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=3041
Comment #2 by jim.roskind: I'm suspicious this is conincidental. DNS resolution is not achieved using "connections." It relies on UDP, which is a connectionless protocol. As a result, all DNS resolution does is send out a packet, and accept an incoming response packet containing the "answer." The packet size is pretty small (about 60 bytes outgoing, 90 bytes return). The delay between lookups is usually bounded by resolution time, which is averages about 200-300ms, although a median time may be around 80ms. DNS prefetch leaves no more than 8 lookups outstanding at any time. As a competing example, if you visited www.cnn.com I think you'd make about 7 simultaneous connections (full TCP/IP HTTP fetches) in parallel to load the page, and most of those pages would include substantial incoming streams (to your browser). Does a visit to such a site also cause your connection to be dropped? Can you see if any of your neighbors with the same ISP have similar problems?? Could it be your hardware?? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
