What's the packet loss reported by utcapture? We have packet loss (and apparently worse) on one of our subnets that is not completely explained, and flash animations such as NOAA weather "movies" can make a Solaris desktop on a Ray nearly useless (at more than 20% loss). However, we do not get the complete stall that you are reporting. If you suspect network issues, a useful test is to run a switch directly off the host and connect the Ray there. We've used a $50 Netgear GS108 for this test. We have a somewhat related issue with video that exploits accelerations described for Rays. With consumer-grade hardware, I can trigger a near-standstill with realplayer when these accelerations are in use. I cannot repeat this on our Sun hardware. Interestingly, packet loss is low (according to utcapture). This issue does not affect flash since flashplayer does not exploit the accelerations. Config: Solaris/x86 on X4200 and X2200, SRSS 4.1 and EA. -- Darrel Hankerson _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list SunRay-Users@filibeto.org http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
