Okay, rapidwave installed. Since PLUG is in the same data center as RapidWave we are in a unique situation from a testing standpoint. I ran several pings just to kind of play with the link a bit: PLUG to remote host: 250 packets transmitted, 249 received, 0% packet loss, time 249119ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 4.966/19.857/216.240/23.845 ms PLUG to remote host, stress test (ping -f): 1816 packets transmitted, 1776 received, 2% packet loss, time 24229ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 39.451/49.585/145.304/10.129 ms, pipe 11, ipg/ewma 13.349/46.902 ms PLUG to rapidwave front-end (so you can see PDV/jitter inside DC): 250 packets transmitted, 250 received, 0% packet loss, time 249129ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.328/1.135/2.518/0.552 ms Qwest DS3 to remote host (local, qwest peered): 250 packets transmitted, 250 received, 0% packet loss, time 249076ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 11.592/35.908/173.784/24.823 ms >From what I understand from the install tech, our house is seeing lower than usual signal strength. Not sure why, as apparently we have good line-of-site. My guess is there may be some RF interference from something. I don't have signal specs yet, but I will try and track that down. With a better signal, this provider has every indication of being able to deliver excellent network performance. Average performance is acceptable, and much better than Comcast. However, those 'wild' packets that take 200ms+ to return may be slightly problematic for certain applications. Has anyone on rapidwave figure out how to access the Canopy "subscriber module" stats? /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
