Richard, Your problem sounds very much like one I have been dealing with. You should try turning off caching on the ATM interface. My guess is that your problem will go away. Cisco recommended that I upgrade to a newer release so that I could again turn on distributed route caching. Walt On Fri, Oct 06, 2000 at 04:50:10AM -0700, Richard Inhand wrote:

I'm currently looking into a weird problem at an ATM peering point on the West Coast, when I ping from my peer router to any of my peers I get some but not total packet loss, when I ping from one router back or use the loopback interface as source things are fine. Whereas, with all my other ATM peering point routers, for example at MAE-EAST I can ping my peers cleanly from the same router. This isn't (to my knowledge) affecting traffic just wondering why this strange phenomenon should occur only in the one place.
