we have this real strange problem - or, a client of ours does anyway.
During a random time period, subject to more "peak" times, their link to us
from a Linux based ISDN modem (external unit appearing as a standard ppp
modem).
when we do somethign like
ping www.client.com.au
from somewhere on our network, close to their port on our side, we get data
like this:
PING www.client.com.au (000.000.000.000): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 000.000.000.000: icmp_seq=6 ttl=252 time=8911.1 ms
64 bytes from 000.000.000.000: icmp_seq=2 ttl=252 time=5001.1 ms
64 bytes from 000.000.000.000: icmp_seq=3 ttl=252 time=4991.1 ms
64 bytes from 000.000.000.000: icmp_seq=7 ttl=252 time=9011.1 ms
64 bytes from 000.000.000.000: icmp_seq=4 ttl=252 time=14121.1 ms
..

64 bytes from 000.000.000.000: icmp_seq=32 ttl=252 time=5412.1 ms
64 bytes from 000.000.000.000: icmp_seq=14 ttl=252 time=599.1 ms
64 bytes from 000.000.000.000: icmp_seq=15 ttl=252 time=12191.1 ms
Note that the 000.000.000.000 isnt the right address for security reasons.
The rest of the data is a true ping session.
Note teh HIGH ms and the WAY OUT icmp-sequence numbers.
that makes no sense to me what so ever. How can those icmp_seq be THAT far out.
Just for further info, the pings are done on the same segment as the router
(ascend) that connect to their Tennyson Linux ISDN modem running on a 128K
connection. That ISDN modem comes off a Red Hat 5.0 linux box running standard
PPP - I think they are using the latest pppd
I suspect that the pppd on the far end isnt working or is broken.
any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated
