Oops, I rearranged some text in my original message and left out the bit that said that I see packet loss when the SDSL line encapsulation is set to be bridged ethernet over ATM (RFC1483). That said, I power-cycled my router and the packet loss seems to have gone away (herring. red.) However, I have a different problem and this persists despite the power-cycle -- if I use nmap -sT to initiate a TCP port scan, it succeeds on local hosts (the router is running NAT) but not on "remote" hosts. If I run tcpdump I see the SYN's going out but no ACK's coming back...in fact nothing comes back...very odd as other tcp connections work fine, with the SDSL encapsulation set to bridged or PPPoATM. Somehow, because the line encapsulation is set to bridging, Adi On Wed, Apr 18, 2001 at 03:44:57PM -0400, Barney Wolff wrote: > How many packets does fping send in a burst?
