I have problems with my network speed when i ping my proxy server I end up getting a high packet loss generally more than 30%.I have tried to use various network monitoring softwares like etherape, wireshark, tcpdump but I am not able to get to the bottom of the problem.basically I am trying to find out where the lost packets are going.
View 7 RepliesI try to setup a locale network between 10 (Web) Servers (openSuse 11.2), each Server is connected to the internet (eth0) which works fine on all servers.
A 2nd NIC eth1 (1GBit rtl-8169) on each Server is connect to a Switch and should function as a LAN. I installed/configured the 2nd NIC with yast, and than added a route for the local network (192.168.20.0) to use eth1. So far every thing works (ssh for example), but I have a packet loss of 10%-60% (ping) on the local network, and I cant find the reason for the packet loss. I already installed a Debian Lenny on 2 Servers (just to test) but I have the same problem on Debian.
No firewall or any other application is in the way. With tcpdump I could figure out that the packages are send but never show up on the destination server.
I put some more information about how I configured the LAN below. I have not done this my first time and from my experience if something is wrong with the network configuration (wrong routing, firewall in the way, etc.) this usually leads to a packet loss of 100% or the destination is simply not reachable.
The 2nd NIC is installed with either yast on suse , or by editing /etc/network/interfaces on debian. The Kernel module rtl8169 is loaded.
They are configured with the following values:
Route is added by:
Output example. of ifconfig :
Output of route (same on all servers):
Output of ping:
I'm using kubuntu 9.10 desktop edition as a server and I set the IP statically, what happens is that when I ping it from another machine on the same network, I get intermittent packet loss (up to 80% and sometimes even higher). When I ping any other machine on the local network everything's fine with 0% packet loss. Packets go directly through switch, no router or anything in between.
I suspected wiring issues, but that doesn't seem to be the problem after I changed the wiring. I was connected to wireless and suspected that but no go either. Same thing when I turn wired. I just changed the ethernet card suspecting drivers but that's no good either. Iptables is a cleanslate installation, it's totally empty.
I am just starting my adventure into Ubuntu. After installing and configuring Shrew Soft in Ubuntu 10.04 64Bit, I am having some serious packet loss issues. The LAN is wireless, however the only packet loss I experience is over the tunnels. I have tried different algorithms, and it seems as I fiddle with the MTU client side, it clears a bit, but the best I have managed is 23% loss average.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am simulating a TCP/FTP to TCP/FTP network and trying to monitor the packet loss.
I am able to monitor and graph data regarding the TCPSinks' bytes received, but I can't monitor packet loss.
Why is it that the TCPSink Agent has a variable for bytes (bytes_) but not one for monitoring packet loss?
Do I have to monitor the packet loss from the queue? If so, how do I write code for this?
Below is part of the code for monitoring bytes received from sinks if anyone was interested.
I got a new X201 which is running Ubuntu 10.04. While at home, everything is fine, at work, I encounter some issues with wireless. the signal cuts in and out repeatedly.Here's the output of ping. I set it to ping a server every 90 seconds, 10 times. So this is a snapshot of 15 minutes of network activity...

Also I tried this (from a 2 year old thread which was most relevant solution I could find):
Code:
Changing AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL=1 to AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL=0 in /etc/default/avahi-daemon has got rid of the irritating pop-up. Basically, every 5 minutes or so, for a solid 60 seconds or so I get no signal. I've tried updating the kernel, and doing apt-get remove avant-daemon, but still have problems.
Just want to know if my connection will be good for voip like skype...

Kernel: 2.6.32-33-generic
Installed Ralink driver v2.4.0.0
iwconfig shows that the bit rate is 130Mb/s and link quality is 98/100. I'm using the wcid network manager instead of defaul gnome one. I'm getting lots of packet loss and performance is very bad. The connection is practically unusable. I've tried installing the compat wireless backport package but that did not work at all.
I have 3 Dell Precision M4400 machines. After getting updates yesterday or today, I get random network dropouts like crazy, on wired or wireless. On one machine I was able to turn off ipv6 in grub and reboot, and it works now. However on the other 2 machines, still have the same problems. All 3 are running 9.10 64 bit. Is there a way I can back out the updates so the network works again? Anyone else see this behavior after updates today?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a following configuration: 4 PCs (say, A, B, C and D), running Ubuntu or Debian, interconnected using a gigabit switch, which is connected to the Internet. Two machines (say, A and B) also have a direct private connection between them (provided by another pair of NICs).
Now, when I test the connection performance with iperf, the results vary. The private connection between A and B performs well - about 930Mbps using iperf's UDP test. Between C and D it is about 800Mbps which I find tolerable. Packet loss when running these tests is negligible.
However, when I run iperf between any of {A,B} and {C,D}, the performance significantly drops as there is a huge number of lost packets.
For example, here is the result of testing between A and C:
Why is there such a large number of packets which are generated, but lost somewhere?
A<->B private link works fine, so system level parameters on both A and B are correct. Furthermore, C<->D works ok, so I guess I shouldn't blame the switch.
Is there a per-NIC configuration that I should check or it smells like a hw problem? Problematic NICs on both A and B are of the same type - Allied Telesyn AT2916T.
I am running Slackware 13.0 on a old dell dimension 4500. The install went fine. sound worked, graphics where good. Everything was going perfect. until i worked on wireless.i have a realtek rtl8185 wireless chipset card. I got the wireless. Linux wireless driver. It worked on both Mint 5.0 and backtrack 4.0.so I untar the file. cd to the dir and type make then make install and reboot. like I have always done.
I was having to fight with wpa_gui and finally got it working but then it would go in and out on the connect and disconnect feature. so I tried using iwconfig. did not get muc luck with that either so i installed wicd and finally got a ip address after fighting with it would give me in a ping like 75% packet loss. so I read a lot of post and try to find stuff before I post. and while reading I learned that you guys normally ask for info on the hardware and software so here you go. but I will say first that I read about adjusting the mtu to fix packet loss, I showed some of the changes I made in it around the pings I know it is a mess I am sorry I tried to make it readable. if you need more information let me know. I cant get online using a web browser or if I can only for one or two pages. any help would be great. thank you.

I am running Linux Mint Isadora 9 and recently installed a wireless USB adapter. After installing RT3070 drivers for my RT2070 card I got everything working and life was good. Now, all of the sudden I am having a world of problems connecting to the internet. I can connect to my AP fine, but I cannot access the internet. If I attempt to ping my AP by IP address I get severe packet loss. I cannot ping my AP by url [URL] at all so Im guessing there are some DNS issues as well.

A lot of people have the problem to find themselves with Lucid Lynx 10.04 and experience massive issues when connecting to wireless - me too. As a service, here some relevant links which promise relief:
[code]...
I tried all of them, and none reliably worked. Every solution which required re-association wtih the AP helped for some time, but nothing helped for long. First, don't let yourself fool by the disable IPv6 trap - while it is "enabled" it is acutally not used by Lucid! I have a clean install of Kubuntu 10.04 on an AMD64 Laptop with Broadcom STA driver: 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 03) However I can reliably stabilize my connection for some time either by manually disabling WiFi with the hardware switch or disabling WiFi by software means and re-activating. This brings speed at par with Kubuntu 9.10 until some time. Can anybody confirm this behaviour?

PC running Ubuntu 10.04LTS, with a Virgin media modem NTL250 with a Buffalo Airstation Turbo G wireless router running Tomato Firmware v1.27.1798.The router is is used by a Internet radio, a wii (both full time) and a nokia N86 mobile and a PSP (used occasionally). The PC is connected by a network cable to the router.Now, when the modem is plugged directly into PC i get 6 to 8 Mbs download speed. When I go modem to router to pc the speed drops down to 512 to 824Kbps. Speeds were obtained off of broadband.co.uk speed tester.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe (3) have download limit problems with a 50G/month limit (Inc uploads). The router I cannot change, and it offers no useful options. So I am considering using IP forwarding from my own box. I think I would need a second nic, & router. Eth0 would run a dchp server, eth1 would run a client. What do I run on the box to monitor downloads & uploads, and is there a way of adding pc & laptop downloads to limit luser downloads? Does this stuff strangle speed? I'm running slackware-13.1

I adjusted my routes to use my ppp1 (VPN) connection for almost all browsing. Have I misconfigured something.? Some more background information: My VPN is about halfway around the world from where I am / my PPPoE connection. I've already changed my DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf to Google's 8.8.8.8.I get around 2 kBps on Ubuntu and 50 kBps on Windows using the same VPN. =/
I have just formated and did a fresh install to start all over. I installed Ubuntu 9.1 and everything went fine but the network. The computer serve as a NAS and MediaPlayer. When getting a file from the server, I get a speed of 40-60mb/sec, which are good for a Gigabit network. When I try to put a file in, the speed can't pass more than 1mb/sec and often stop.
Here's the network info:

I'm trying to simulate a script for two UES connected with a high speed common channel. The file is the same I've used in not enhanced umts with some changes, and it worked perfectly. The changes are indicated in the EURANE guide.
There are two lines of code:
Code:
$bs setErrorTrace 0 "UE1_trace_file"
$bs setErrorTrace 1 "UE2_trace_file"
that give me an error when I try to run the file .tcl

I'm beginning to write a custom RTP implementation and want to test its resilience to UDP traffic. I've searched on the web and all the links I can find are for analysing actual traffic, not generating it or messing it up.
Does anyone know of any software (preferably free software) that will, for example, take actual UDP traffic and drop packets, duplicate some and make some arrive late/out of sequence?
I have a Dell inspiron 640m (1405). I am a reasonably clued in linux user, but I am getting serious networking speed problems. The networking card is an intel 3945ABG When wirelessly connecting with windows XP, everything runs fine and the network connection is fast.
When connecting with any linux distro, the networking speed is abysmally slow, and the connection drops randomly. (the network is recognised and the connection is made however)
I am running Redhat linux 8.0 with 2.4.22 kernel. I am using this server for traffic shaping my static ip clients using tc.

i made a video and i wanted to put it on my myspace(video upload) and it justs fade to grey and becomes unresponive. that it goes back to normal but no progress. so then i tried going to image shack and uploading a picture. can't do that either. tried mediafire, videos, vimeo, nothing.
so i tried on my desktop(desktop running 9.10 32 bit. laptop(the first one i tried) running 9.10 64 bit. it didn't work on that either. i know it's not my isp because it works on my ps3(no ubuntu). not my firewall and tried without without my router. didn't work either. i tried upgrading flash on both of them and on my desktop i can upload some pictures to imageshack now. nothing else though. i have tried using both firefox and opera.

When using launchpad and the ubuntu daily build website it is very slow. I get 1.2mb/s normally and the speed drops quickly to 0kb/s This is the case from any version of ubuntu that is installed on my laptop.In windows it is no problem, equally there is no problem from a live cd or an install on my external hard disk. Is canonical blacklisting/slow listing my ip?
I am behind a university network but am sure this problem occurs at home .I did a clean install and had no problem until about an hour ago. When I tried to re download a project using bzr my speed instantly ropped.I had downloaded it fine a couple of hours ago. I hope that someone can shine some light on this, its very hard to work on projects if I can't download them.
I have very suboptimal Internet speed in Wifi with Ubuntu. Normally in WIndows 7 I get download speeds up to 800 KB/s and a very fast Wifi experience, but in Ubuntu I get 100KB/s maximum and web page load speed is very extremely slow. Also, pinging to AP often gives very high response times and a lot of lost packages while in Windows they are very low and none packages are lost. I have a Netgear wg111v3 which worked out of box when I installed Ubuntu but always with this problem. It is updated and I've reinstalled Ubuntu many times..
Also I forgot to say that in Ubuntu the connection goes down very often and sometimes will not connect again until I reboot. Again in Windows never happened that.

I've been using Ubuntu 8.04 for about a year and the wireless has been fine but now it's gone screwy and I can't figure out why. This has happened on my laptop and wife's who uses Ubuntu Hardy also. The speed drops to almost 0 mb/s whenever the signal strength is less than 95%.
It isn't the internet connection as vista (I dual boot) works fine below 95% signal strength. To get the internet speed to be at a level that can load an internet page, I have to within 3 feet of the router!! Both of the laptops don't use ndiswrapper, the internet connected straight away from a fresh install.
I'm experiencing slow speed transfer between two wireless connected laptops running ubuntu 9.10. Using SSH to tranfer files between these two laptops, which connect to the internet via a wirelesss router, with good speed. This is why I'm surprised by this low speed : 52.3 KB/s, averaging 3 hours and 31 minutes for a 700 Mb movie. Is there any way to make this faster ?
