RE: [smartBridges] Single Defer Packets what are they good or bad??

That's a nice unit. The truth of the matter is I really
don't know for sure what will work. I've ordered some
other brand CPEs to fix the problem spots that I'm having
so I don't lose any more customers.
 
All of this is based on my speculation, and current experience
with the SB gear and networking in general. It's been a long
time since I've even seen a 10Mbit half duplex hub or switch,
and even when I thought I found one, the SB started a collision
storm that rendered that segment of the network useless.
 
Hopefully SB does better with the XO series. It looks like a
nice bit of hardware, and has some of the features we've all
asked for. I have some work to do to stabilize my network first
before I can try out some of that gear though. I've lost to
much time and money experimenting..

Here is the unit I purchased do you think this bad boy will do the trick? I will have to put it in a box all its own! if they make one big enough!

It's my suspicion that this is the exact cause of
the slowdowns. If you have a $200+ switch that can
actually force a port to 10Mbit half duplex and the
rest of the gear you are talking to is faster, that
switch might just have enough buffer in it to prevent
severe packet deferment. But if you are using the
lesser expensive switches or hubs that detect the SB
gear at 10Mbit full duplex, then when the port tries
to talk to the SB gear in both directions at once you
end up with deferred packets.

I am seeing about 8000 on them right now on my main APPO's when reading the description it is vague but does not sound good does this giving any indication that the LAN setting on the switch is not set to 10 Meg 1/2 duplex?
 
Thanks
