Networking blames Sun, and certainly the evidence is that Cisco switches and Ray 1 do not work together.
I can only say that the vast majority of our customers use Cisco switches, which we also do within Sun, and this problem is not seen. So I don't believe there is a fundamental problem with interoperability between the Sun Ray 1 and Cisco switches - they have been interoperating for years now for many customers without such issues. There are problems seen when the switch ports are mismatched in terms of bandwidth but if everybody connected to the switches/routers is operating at 100Mb/s this problem is not seen.
At 20% packet loss, the Ray 1 is largely unresponsive to keyboard and mouse actions. We can "solve" the problem for some users by wiring through a private network (a "router" with two interfaces). Suggestions?
Have you tried something like "pingplotter" (www.pingplotter.com)? Unfortunately this is a Windows-only tool. However, in my experience it is an excellent diagnostic to determine where along a path of routers packets are being dropped. You should crank down the interval to something very small - 1 second or less, and you can pull down strip charts for each hop along the route to see any pattern to the packet loss. -Bob _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://node1.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
