How does ppp deal with the link loss - does it notice immediately ? I would expect very little latency if it does as it should be able to just trash the existing queued data and continue using the other link. I guess other connections suffer the same problems -- it's not just squid ? It might be interesting doing a ``show mp'' or ``show bundle'' to determine what sort of packet queuing and reassembly is happening after the link is lost. If the queues are large, you might get slightly better performance by reducing the links mtu (set mtu max), but really, things should recover ok even with a ~1500 MTU. -- Brian <brian_at_Awfulhak.org> <brian_at_[uk.]FreeBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org> <brian_at_[uk.]OpenBSD.org> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !Received on Wed Jun 30 2004 - 10:39:09 UTC
