Subject: Packet drops...
hi..
i have a 2916 to connect to sun E3500 and Aix Machines. the sun hold
Oracle databases (not yet live) while Aix runs cobol and wisp(major load is
on this). the customer was complaining that the oracle sessions get
disconnected intermittenly.
i just ran a few ping tests and this reveals that Sun ,NT and Aix Are
dropping packets. However running the same test for over a period of time
reavealed that Sun has consistently dropped packets ( both on peak and off
peak) where as Aix has dropped when on Peak. Ports on 2916 have been changed
and result not improved.
any ideas to pin point where problems lies..
Thanks for any help,
Murali
