Temple U (155.247.166.219) oddity

Post by AJMSmith »

Not sure how relevant this is but for the last 3 hours or so 155.247.166.219 has been rejecting returning WUs.

TraceRT gives me the under shown.

Trace complete.
The 14th node in the chain looks odd but I'm not sure how relevant that is.

I don't think the problem is at my end as I got a unit from 155.247.166.220 (currently being worked on) about 5 minutes before the first failure.

The server was down for a short period this morning, it is back up now. Might be related to starting up a new beta project being served from there.

When configuring a router that emphasizes performance over thoroughness, sometimes they're configured to ignore pings. As long as your data is getting passed on to the next hop, it's not significant.

To elaborate on Bruce's correct response, both Traceroute and Ping belong to a protocol called ICMP That is used to monitor internet connectivity.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_ ... e_Protocol
When heavily overloaded, all routers should favor TCP/IP over ICMP, but some routers do not bother with ICMP even when not busy. This is frowned upon but not enforceable.

I was suggesting that it looked anomalous which has been confirmed by Jimbo but could not eliminate the possibility that it might be connected with Temple U's known problems.

If the router was a bottleneck, the times would jump on nodes after the bottleneck, which is not happening.

I will use a transatlantic cable as a bottleneck

As you can see, the times beyond a real bottleneck are larger and never decrease below the bottleneck. You can also see some busy routers in this trace who do not respond to ICMP packets as quickly as routers beyond them. They are slow, but do not bottle neck later routers.
