The maximum latency is limited by the maximum number of retries and delay time configured on the system (which signs seem to indicate have been reduced)

Because wireless is a notoriously variable medium and not all SHs exist in the same wireless environment?

Others have seen the same phenomenon with wired devices, so it seems certain types or patterns of traffic cause this behaviour on the SH, regardless of where it's coming from.

Got a feeling the firmware will get the blame again :D

Now if only you could use a web interface to upload saved superhub settings that had been modified to set usually hidden options, that allowed the shub to download a better firmware from a LAN tftp server. That would be ace ;)

And what would you think responds to the pings other than the CPU?

The chipset and configuration of the SH has been discussed here previously.

The cable modem components are integrated in the main CPU. The LAN ports are handled by a dedicated switch chip.

Ping replies are dealt with by the OS kernel.

Well there is... There's packets that get through partly and are corrected by ECC and there's packets that do not get through on first attempt and are retried.

Don't even go there. You don't want to try it.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Thanks for the info. Still not sure of its an atheros/broadcom/rtl type chipset though.

I did wonder if the actual IP stack was handled on a separate chip in the same way as the LAN ports being handled with a different chip. Specialised dedicated chips taking work from the cpu is common in other areas but I wasn't sure in router technology.

So the common factors with the ramping are the cpu and kernel/firmware.

Wouldn't let them give me a superhub, so never had one, never want one and will never get to try it ;)

When trying to fix their obvious utilisation problem, they stalled with a repull and palming me off with a vmdg280. Obviously none of that fixed their overutilisation problem but means I had beern downgraded from a modem to the 280. Didn't want to downgrade it any futher lol.

Many routers, including the Superhub, can use hardware accelerated NAT which does this, but only for traffic going through the Superhub and not to/from it.

I never let them give me a Superhub either but I still ended up with two after I left VM...

Thanks for digging out the links for me. Exactly the info I was looking for. I was looking for info on the CG3101D last night which is how I came across the alternative firmwares. No one really wants to play with that stuff due to the lowly 8mb of memory.

Not gonna ask where you got your shubs. My vmdg280 left here in a blue body bag ;)

You can almost hear the "cogs turning" as an inspired thought enlightens the Stygian darkness…..
Only a relatively short time before someone mentions "Solar flares", "alpha particles" and "Double parity errors"…… ;)

It has 64MB memory, which is above average and typical for high-end routers a couple years ago

I would have thought beta particles would be more relevant

Any one else lose the network today.

default gate way was fine but Ping and packet loss have started spiking a bit even on the gateway..

Ta I was hoping it was VM turning off the unannounced new Traffic shaping that had effected patch downloads on Sony systems but if it was not VM wide then it was not likely that... must be just local down time o well..

Hre's my graph after I disconnected

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/s...e91e9c97a.html

Oodly someone else is now using the IP address I had but the IP Address TBB was tracking was the one given out by my AP and not the one VM gave me.

It replys to pings too. I find that confusing. As I said it's not the IP address VM gave me. It was one my router assigned to me. Not sure how or why
