Re: Network latency [7:40295]

2002-04-04 Thread Shawn Goodson
The question is pretty broad. On our enterprise networks we use four different products to determine latency and packet loss. On the local and wide area we utilize snmp and rmon to gather statistics, but that does not always give you a complete picture, especially if your data traverses public car

OT RPC broadcasts [7:23992]

This is way off topic but I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem. We use Solaris jumpstart to build our unix platforms. A jumpstart server is used to push the load to the client, similar to Ghost. The problem I have seen twice in the last week at different sites is an RPC call issued f

Priscilla, I completely agree with John Neiberger's post. We have used NetViz as our documentation package for the last 6 years and are very happy with it. The program lets us graphically represent the networks, plus it allows the addition of embedded data within the diagrams. There are also

All, If it helps here is a link that has some good information on WOL. There is a link to AMD in the online references, that has a white paper that breaks down actual frame, and discusses network and platform issues with WOL. One section describes how the engineers at IBM used the subnet direc

Here's a paragraph from Gigabit Ethernet, (Kadambi, Crayford, and Kalkunte Prentice Hall 1988), Manchester encoded data is used for data transmission across the AUI (and across all of the common media currently defined for the 802.3 networks at data rates of 10 Mb/s). Each bit of information is c

Re: With a dialup setup, I can trace, but not ping, why's that? [7:6726]

2001-06-01 Thread Shawn Goodson
I've seen similar results when trying to ping a distant end that has allot of delay. The TTL used for ping on an NT is different than the TTL used for traceroute. A traceroute is successful but the ping fails, or the ping works on a Unix but not a Windows platform. Some times adjusting the TTL wil

There was an earlier post that described East Coast Datacom's Router Delay Simulator. We have been using the RDS in our lab to provide latency and bandwidth constraints between endpoints. The box has worked great and the pricing wasn't bad. http://www.ecdata.com/rds/rds.htm S

2001-04-26 Thread Shawn Goodson
William, 4B/5B is a coding scheme that maps 16 possible 4B data nibble values to a subset of the 5B binary code groups available. It was used with FDDI to avoid consecutive zero's that may occur in data, i.e. FDDI doesn't transmit 4 bit ASCII data nibbles, instead it transmits 5 bi
