The Juniper routers (it appears they are based on the interface naming scheme) tend to have incredible buffering capabilities as compared to the predecasors of the time. This allows a full link to not drop packets and fully buffer them over a period of time. This obviously has ramifications when it relates to tcp timing and when you go from having a 20ms rtt for a packet to 1000+ms. tcp obviously will think that there is some loss. - Jared On Thu, Oct 03, 2002 at 05:33:05PM -0400, Marshall Eubanks wrote:
Where are they diverting it to, the Moon (1.5 light seconds away) ?
Really - I have seen some multisecond latencies on network links we were testing, and I always wondered how these could come to be.

The only thing I've noticed is high latency between UUNet and Sprint (around 2 second latency) in at least one traffic exchange point between them, maybe more. Probably because of the diversion of traffic on UUNet's network.

We're a UUNet customer (we also have other connections), and we haven't really seen any big problem today. We're connected to Atlanta, and I see: <snip>
We haven't seen anything unusual on our UU circuit in PHX, either.
