Ubuntu Networking :: Very Poor Wireless Performance - Packet Loss

Aug 5, 2011

I have ubuntu lucid running on Dell 230 PC, linksys WPN600 N wireless PCI network card connecting to a Cisco E3000 dual channel router.

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.

Slackware :: 40-75% Packet Loss On Average With Wireless Networking 13.0?

Jun 26, 2010

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.

Code:
bash-3.1# ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1

Fedora Networking :: Wireless - Harsh Packet Loss - Cannot Find Any Native AR5008 Drivers For My Card

Nov 2, 2010

I am recently trying to get a steady wireless connection running. I am currently using the default settings/driver Fedora 13 is stocked with. As my internet browsing is somewhat up and down in load times, I decided to check in a video game which is generally a good test for me. haha I am harshly spiking and cannot find the source of my problem so my guess is a driver issue.

lspci | grep Network:

Code:

Code:

It is is seemingly right, my Windows 7 harddrive works just fine, this is just one last of the few issues I'm having from fully formatting my winblows HD to use as Linux storage.

I cannot find any native AR5008 Linux Drivers for my card and it has been a frustrating day. I guess I'm not cut to be a network analyst just yet.

System specs:
ASUS P5Q SE/R
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550
4GB DDR2 667
Gigabyte GTX465 1G
TP LINK TL-WN851N Wireless card

Ubuntu :: Packet Loss When Running Mtr On VPN Connection?

Jul 27, 2011

[Code]...

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. =/

Ubuntu Networking :: Loss Of Wireless Connection?

Mar 11, 2010

I have a new Toshiba Satellite L450, and decided to run Ubuntu, which is new to me. I am running a 64 bit Karmic, and there is no driver that works. So, to make a long story short: a friend helped me get a driver on my Desktop, namely: rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0100.1012.2009_64bit.tar.gz We had it working, but when I let in the first large batch up updates, it kicked the driver out. I found instructions, installed it again. I let in the next updates, and it kicked out again, and this time the instructions don't work. So, I have two sets of questions:

1. Will updates always undo my wireless? Are there certain updates I should avoid if I want the wireless to stay up and running? (I just assumed the thing to do is just get the updates -- though I am guilty of having no idea what they were about.)

2. Did the updates cause one of my instrucitons to no longer work, or need to be modified?

They were as follows:

sudo apt-get install build-essential
cd ~/Desktop
sudo tar -xvzf rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0100.1012.2009_64bit.tar.gz
That 'sudo tar -xvzf...' operation is the one that stops me. Is there something to change in that line? It goes on:
cd rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0100.1012.2009_64bit

[Code]...

this worked the first time I tried it. I posted this earlier under 'hardware', and do not know how to get that post off, so I typed it here once I realized.

Ubuntu Networking :: Sudden Loss Of Wireless Connection

Mar 16, 2010

For most of today I had my internet connection dropping out on me intermittently. I assumed it was a provider issue, as it has been unreliable in the past. After it dropped out for good, and I could not print through network, I realised it was not a provider issue. All the other computers in the house were connected, including another ubuntu box. Only the MacBook Pro 5,5 was not able to connect. The network manager indicated I was connected to the network, throughout the whole time.

A number of restarts with the kernel I normally use (2.6.31-19) including one in recovery mode, yielded no change, but a restart with the 2.6.31-20 kernel resulted in connectivity. Finally, perhaps by chance, wireless started to work again on the 2.6.31-19 kernel, after I once booted into the Mac OS, and then back into Karmic. How I might go about diagnosing, obviously in hindsight, what happened? I suppose I should look in the log files, but I have no idea where exactly, and what to look for.

Ubuntu Networking :: Shrew VPN Packet Loss

May 29, 2010

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.

Networking :: Monitoring TCP Packet Loss In NS2 ?

Jun 23, 2010

I 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.

Ubuntu Networking :: Avahi Causing The Packet Loss?

May 5, 2010

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...

Code:

PING (REDACTED) bytes of data.
64 bytes from (REDACTED): icmp_seq=1 ttl=252 time=1.50 ms
64 bytes from (REDACTED): icmp_seq=2 ttl=252 time=2.13 ms
64 bytes from (REDACTED): icmp_seq=3 ttl=252 time=1.38 ms

[code]....

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.

Networking :: Packet Loss On 2nd Network Card

Jan 23, 2010

I 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):

Ubuntu Networking :: Packet Loss Pinging Local Network ?

Jan 6, 2010

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.

Ubuntu Networking :: 9.10 Updates Yesterday/Today Cause Packet Loss On Networking

Apr 9, 2010

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?

Networking :: Huge Packet Loss On A Gigabit Link ?

Dec 28, 2010

I 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.

Networking :: Sudden Severe Packet Loss/ Unable To Connect DNS To AP

Aug 23, 2010

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.

Code:

Programming :: UDP Packet Loss - Out Of Sequence - Duplication Simulator ?

Oct 13, 2010

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?

Networking :: Random Network Connection Loss On Debian Server?

May 15, 2011

I have been having this problem for about two weeks now where Debian's network and internet connection randomly fails. It works perfectly fine and hosts all the services I need for a while, and then without warning all network connectivity fails. I can't ping any other network device. Regardless of how much I try to fix it, the only thing that works is restarting the computer. First, the server went 7 days without a problem; then 5 days; now it lasted 2 days. Judging from my Teamspeak server logs, it crashed today at 12:31. I grep'd through my log files and found this information:

Networking :: Test Thespeed Of The VPN Connection Or The RDC Connection?

I connect to my work with GRDC through a VPN. All worked fine until yesterday. IT is now very slow. Could this have anything to do with the fact that Update Manager was only able to do a partial upgrade?

I use Ubuntu 9.10 I tried the RDC on a Win XP machine and the speed is normal, so I don't think the Remote Desktop Server is the problem. Is there a way to test thespeed of the VPN connection or the RDC connection?

Ubuntu Networking :: Loss Of Wireless After A Couple Of Hours

Mar 8, 2010

I have a hp dv3 laptop which dual boots Win7 and Ubuntu 9.1 64 bit. I have no issues with my wireless adapter in Win7, but I lose connection after a couple of hours in Ubuntu. When connection is lost it is not possible to view any wireless signals, the adapter is basically turned off. The only way to restore the connection is to reboot, then Ubuntu will again automatically connect to my WP2 encrypted router. My wireless adapter is a AR928X made by Atheros.

Fedora Networking :: Wireless Modem Connectivity Loss ?

Dec 10, 2010

The problem is I have a wireless Belkin router which I can connect to, but after being connected for a few minutes the net disappears (cuts from the router) and my laptop will have to reconnect again to the router for internet to work again. After a few minutes (or seconds in some cases) the connectivity loss will happen again over an over.

How to fix this problem or some things I can try, I've tried updating to two different firmwares, two different channels and resetting the router. The biggest problem I find is that this happens on both my laptop, another laptop in the house and also my tablet PC but doesn't happen on two other laptops in the house, I've also tested with windows 7 and Ubuntu with my laptop.

My laptop wireless card is Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade To 10.04 Leads To Loss Of Correct Screen Resolution / Wireless Networking / Sound

May 4, 2010

Excited at seeing the new features in 10.04, I clicked the Upgrade button tonight. I am now really regretting it! Problems:

1. My screen resolution should be 1280x1024 but the System>Preferences>Monitors control panel only shows 1024x768.

I think I have onboard Realtek graphics. Do I need to install proprietary drivers? Everything worked fine out of the box with 9.10!

2. The sound isn't working. Again I think I have onboard Realtek sound, and again it used to work fine without any intervention from me...

3. Although on first startup wireless networking was working fine, I restarted to see if that would solve the display issue, and wireless networking stopped working too!

I have an RaLink wireless card.

When I used Grub to choose 2.6.31.20, I got some error messages at startup (e.g. mount couldn't mount /dev), but then it did eventually start up and the sound and wireless networking are working again. But the resolution is still not fixed. It is now offering 1152x864, which it didn't previously, but no 1280x1024 (my screen's native resolution).

Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless - Lost It - 'wmaster0 No Wireless Extensions', But Then Refers To Wlan0 As The Wireless Connection

Mar 28, 2010

A friend who switched ISP's gave me his old Linksys WRT54-G wireless router. I went through the installation procedure and had a wireless connection up and running - smiley face. I had security set up for WPA, and decided to upgrade it to WPA2. Another smiley face. When I went to connect (had already done so successfully), I noticed it referred to my wireless as Linksys - I was expecting to see the SSID. So I started playing around in Network Manager and now I have things all effed up.

Don't know exactly what I did, but now I have no wireless. So I ran a few commands (lshw -C network, iwconfig, ifconfig, and iwlist scan), and looking at the results I see what appear to be inconsistencies in the output. I've posted them below, and make the following observations:

1. Under the lshw it refers to my wireless connection logical name as wmaster0, and has the correct MAC address, etc.

2. Under the iwconfig it says, 'wmaster0 no wireless extensions', but then refers to wlan0 as the wireless connection (although it does not seem to be running).

3. Under ifconfig I see both a wlan0 and a wlan0:avahi. The wlan0 has no IP, the wlan0:avahi does, but it is incorrect.
