Thanks Marcus,
The cable is cat-5e and the length is 52 meters (give or take).

Based on your calculations, it seems that I am setting myself for high likelihood of a dropped packet if I were to run for 4 or 5 days continuously.

I have moved the N200 over to another cable to see if the situation improves but I think that the best solution is to move the Ubuntu box into the shack rather than move house/shack closer :)

                               Slainte,

                                       John

The native BER of 1000BASE-T is better than 1.0e-11 or so.

Which means you'd expect a bad bit roughly every half-hour at 2msps (64Mbit/sec), the bad-bit probabilities get worse as you make the cable longer.

It's possible that we're dealing with a memory leak somewhere. Could you watch the memory consumption of simple_ra over time?

Also, could you just run something like uhd_fft with the same sample rate for long periods to see if it gets the same 'D' treatment?

    Thanks Marcus,

            Have put answers in-line.

Ok, Marcus, will do. Overnight (NZ time) I got 1 D with the Atheros. I should have said that the N200 was in the shack and the Ubuntu system in the house. I have several runs of Ethernet out to the shack so will do some experimentation on the different connections. Then I will move the Ubuntu system to the shack and see if colocation helps. These investigations will take some days but will let you know.

         Kind Regards,

                  John
