hi
if it's definitely packet loss then there's nothing ssh can do about>
it.. maybe get a wireless sniffer to examine the signal strength - check
you have good reception..
also, i had a wireless AP that the signal strength continually dropped to 0, causing dropouts of various connections for some people, and also meant that my laptop effectively couldn't join the network at all :(
yep, that is axactly the problems i have. on some spots in the building the connection drops sporadically to zero and causes a packet loss and because DHCP is in use also a loss of the assigned ip, because the wifi connection has been closed.
yeh, you can see some strange routes sometimes.. i've seen Sydney to Melbourne via Brisbane and even routes between 2 data centres in Sydney going through San Fran.. usually when there's big outage somewhere though and BGP goes wild :)
hehe, the same in vienna/austria. there is a "great" provider that routes packages from one district via the USA and back - very fast when you try to VOIP with a study-mate and he is living in the neighbour street.
anyway, thanks for all, gottfried -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
