Issue 3041: DNS pre-fetching causes frequent internet loss http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=3041
Comment #7 by [EMAIL PROTECTED]: There are at least two phrases used here to describe a problem. The original poster ( enderecofacildelembrar,) said the connection "was reset," and imre.polik said the connection "was dropped." Imre also said that IP based traffic (such as skype) continued to be communicated, but DNS lookups were failing. I think the original post *probably* meant something like "the phone line disconnected" or "the router did a reboot." I believe Imre may have been describing a failure in a router, which was performing DNS. For example, there might be a watchdog that reset the non-responsive DNS resolver process inside the router after some time period. ...however... the problem may involve the caches on the PC where Chromium is running. For Imre, can you see if the problem is perchance the OS cache, or perchance the application cache. The DNS resolutions are cached separately in both places (with Chromium's current network stack... which will soon change). To see if the problem is in Chromium's application cache, check to see if exiting and restarting Chromium resolves the problem. If that doesn't resolve the problem, check to see if flushing the OS cache via the command "ipconfig /dnsflush" has an impact. It is also possible that bug http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=3819 is related (as was pointed out in that bug) Although Chromium can potentially perform many prefetches (pre-resolutions), it is currently limited to no more than 8 simultaneous outstanding requests (from the prefetcher). There is some possibility that other navigations might instigate some parallel resolutions (such as for background tabs, etc.). In general, the total limit is pretty small, and probably comparable to having several users on your LAN. Please provide more data if possible.
