I'm starting to think this might be a bug in 12.2(3). I brought up a
new PVC from our hub router to one of our branches. I was noticing
really high round trip times, usually over one second when it should be
averaging 10ms.
After playing around for a while I noticed that I was only having
problems with _every other_ packet. If I only sent one ping it would
succeed in about 12 ms. The second ping would get dropped. The third
ping would succeed, the fourth would get dropped. To completely bake
your noodle, I'll include the output of debug ip packet detail:
RNRTH#ping 10.12.10.70
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.12.10.70, timeout is 2 seconds:
!.!.!
Success rate is 60 percent (3/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 12/12/12 ms
RNRTH#un all
All possible debugging has been turned off

As you can see, the first ping succeeds as you'd expect. But the weird
thing is that the next packet we received *is* the packet we just sent!
Basically, it appears that somehow, somewhere in the frame cloud my
router is having _every other_ packet looped back to itself. Is that
not one of the weirdest things you've ever seen??
I'm awaiting a call back from Qwest. They probably won't believe me.
I asked someone else here who is more senior than I and he said he's
never seen anything like this either. The reason I think it might be a
bug is that the local IP address--10.12.10.75--was originally on a
different subinterface. I deleted that subinterface and put the IP
address on the new interface. I'm wondering if internally it is
confused. I'm tempted to reboot it just to find out but I'd really
rather not since it's a production router.
Okay, back to work. I'll let you all know what I find out.
