Networking blames Sun, and certainly the evidence is that Cisco

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.
