Re: [c-nsp] Multicast Packet Loss over GRE

2011-02-25 Thread Benjamin Lovell
If it's enough / consistent enough packet drops you should be able to see a 
diff on the two tunnel routers in sh ip mroute x.x.x.x x.x.x.x count. This 
should at least confirm where the drops are happing. 

Mcast packet forwarding is not significantly different for being over a GRE 
tunnel if we are talking about a software router (do normal mcast stuff then 
hand off for encap or decap then hand to mcast code). Hardware platforms on the 
other hand are a diff story.

 Was hoping someone can provide some advice with regards to troubleshooting a

 The set up isnt particularly complex:
 
 Servers SwitchTunnel router (RP)  GRE over WAN  Tunnel router 
 SwitchServers
 
 The tunnel router interfaces have been configured with the TCP mss adjust mtu 
 command and set to 1400. 
 
 
 Everythings been up and working for a year but recently weve been 
 experiencing 
 issues with mcast and can see dropped packets when using a sniffer on the 
 server. The suspicion lies with the WAN provider who has recently made 
 changes 
 but extended pings/sweeps over the WAN shows no drops.
 
 Has anyone any ideas or experience on how to troubleshoot packet loss over 
 GRE 
 for multicast?
