Darrell- I like the tidbit about reverse lookup with traceroute.. I always wondered why the Sun boxes were so slow at times during pings . Now I need to fire up the sniffer and the x86 Solaris and see what I can see :) It would be my luck that the x86 Solaris is different ..
Anyways.. this config was a Win2K laptop to a Win98 laptop. The back to back between PIXs is made via two ports on a 2900. I plan to run through it again this weekend and get some better notes. Priscilla.. I started with ping but went with traceroute to play with access lists allowing traceroute to pass. The telnet was just a quick and dirty test that I could in fact make the connection through the tunnel. It was an observation that the response time of the telnet was very *bursty slow*. It would almost *pause* and then send a sequence of keystrokes. Almost like the tunnel was flapping but the debug did not show this. That slowness tied into the 800ms times posted by traceroute since 100ms is preceptible by a user. Like I said, I'll run a more formal test and gather up some more data. I posted just to see if anyone had some ideas off the top of their heads.
