Michael, Looks like ex4200 might send PAUSE frames to your uplink which could limit traffic. Try to disable flow-control on both sides and use traffic generator to test. If you don't have a 10G traffic generator but have a couple of 10G ports on T-series/MX then cascaded port-mirroring could produce you a 10G packet stream.

2009/8/4 Alex <alex.arsen...@gmail.com> Michael, Is the throughput impaired only during peak times? Does throughput improve after peak hours? Traffic goes down in offpeak time to 1G. Difference between inbound and outbound traffic cannot be seen. The next day peak time the situation repeats - outbound traffic reaches a limit and does not go upper. Reboot resolves the situation. Are there any drops/errors on this interface? On both sides there are no errors and drops. I check them by "show interfaces xe-0/1/0 extensive" command. Is uplink sending you (perhaps too many) PAUSE frames? Uplink is connected to catalyst 6500: c6500-BGW-XL#sh int te3/6 | i flow input flow-control is on, output flow-control is off So as I see uplink shouldn't send pause frames. On ex4200: > show interfaces xe-0/1/0 | match Flow Source filtering: Disabled, Flow control: Enabled May be I should try to disable flow control on juniper interface?

Now almost every day in peak time I see sudden fall of throughput on 10GE interface. Peak load is about 4G. At the moment outbound traffic falls to 3G and users notice upload speed downgrade. The only method I found to resolve the problem - reboot the switch. Nothing unusual is configured on switch, no QoS also. I've no idea how to troubleshoot the problem?May be you can point me to some worthful troubleshooting guides? _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp 2009/8/4 Alex <alex.arsen...@gmail.com> Michael, Is the throughput impaired only during peak times?
