What I am concerned with is the amount of time it takes for a reply from 212.154.128.18 and the next hop appears to have timed out completey, unless they are denying ICMP replies. 820ms alone is very high, maybe too high. -----Original Message----- From: Kim Schotanus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 29 October 2003 10:25 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: connection If I do a trceroute via samspade then I get the following: 3 130.152.180.21 6.672 ms isi-1-lngw2-atm.ln.net [AS226] Los Nettos origin AS 4 198.172.117.161 8.894 ms ge-9-3.a01.lsanca02.us.ra.verio.net [AS2914] Verio 5 129.250.29.136 9.931 ms xe-1-0-0-4.r21.lsanca01.us.bb.verio.net [AS2914] Verio 6 129.250.2.11 9.440 ms p16-7-0-0.r00.lsanca01.us.bb.verio.net [AS2914] Verio 7 208.173.57.21 12.043 ms bpr1-so-6-0-0.LosAngeles.cw.net 8 208.172.47.13 6.939 ms dcr2-ae1-0.LosAngeles.cw.net 9 166.63.194.61 166.812 ms bcr1.Frankfurt.cw.net 10 166.63.194.1 166.855 ms car1.Frankfurt.cw.net 11 166.63.197.26 265.337 ms ojsc-kazakhtelecom.Frankfurt.cw.net 12 212.19.148.105 283.913 ms DNS error [AS9198] Kazakhtelecom Data Network Administration 13 212.154.128.18 820.239 ms DNS error [AS9198] Kazakhtelecom Data Network Administration 14 * -----Original Message----- From: Neil Doody [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: woensdag 29 oktober 2003 11:06 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: connection Id say your getting minor packet loss at a guess, meaning the connection is not being held up long enough for the mail to be delivered?
