RE: [smartBridges] Single Defer Packets what are they good or bad??

It's my suspicion that this is the exact cause of the slowdowns. If you have a $200+ switch that can actually force a port to 10Mbit half duplex and the rest of the gear you are talking to is faster, that switch might just have enough buffer in it to prevent severe packet deferment. But if you are using the lesser expensive switches or hubs that detect the SB gear at 10Mbit full duplex, then when the port tries to talk to the SB gear in both directions at once you end up with deferred packets.   Kevin Summers KISTech Internet Services Inc. www.kistech.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Blazen Wireless Sent: Monday, September 29, 2003 4:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [smartBridges] Single Defer Packets what are they good or bad?? I am seeing about 8000 on them right now on my main APPO's when reading the description it is vague but does not sound good does this giving any indication that the LAN setting on the switch is not set to 10 Meg 1/2 duplex?   Thanks
