I've got chage of a RedHat 6.1 box over on the U campus and ever since a network outage yesterday we've seen strange behavior. We're running Netsaint for monitoring our NT, Novell and Linux machines and after the network started to recover yesterday the RTA on the ping which Netsaint does has been quite high, hovering between 60 and 89ms. When I do a straight ping from the cli i get mixed results. For the most part I get return times of .5-.8ms but every so often we are seeing times of 50-400ms(usually on the higher end of that) for no discernable reason. I was thinking network problem but none of the other boxes on our subnet are exhibiting the same symptoms. Ping scores follow below... I have restarted all network services since this started and bounced the interfaces but the behavior persists. Does this sound like a problem or am I just being too touchy? Anyone suggest anything (I'm defending my 355 day uptime like a lion!) or seen anything like this before? Thanks. -- ____________________________ Mike Neuharth ADCS Technology Specialist http://www.umn.edu/adcs E-Mail : mjn at umn.edu Page Mail : 6126486512 at page.metrocall.com http://supermonkeycollider.dyndns.org/ ____________________________ PING 134.84.84.84 (134.84.84.84) from 134.84.89.152 : 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 134.84.84.84: icmp_seq=0 ttl=254 time=17.3 ms 64 bytes from 134.84.84.84: icmp_seq=1 ttl=254 time=0.9 ms 64 bytes from 134.84.84.84: icmp_seq=2 ttl=254 time=0.8 ms 64 bytes from 134.84.84.84: icmp_seq=3 ttl=254 time=0.8 ms 64 bytes from 134.84.84.84: icmp_seq=4 ttl=254 time=0.8 ms 64 bytes from 134.84.84.84: icmp_seq=5 ttl=254 time=0.9 ms 64 bytes from 134.84.84.84: icmp_seq=6 ttl=254 time=309.9 ms 64 bytes from 134.84.84.84: icmp_seq=7 ttl=254 time=0.9 ms 64 bytes from 134.84.84.84: icmp_seq=8 ttl=254 time=0.8 ms 64 bytes from 134.84.84.84: icmp_seq=9 ttl=254 time=1.1 ms 64 bytes from 134.84.84.84: icmp_seq=10 ttl=254 time=0.8 ms 64 bytes from 134.84.84.84: icmp_seq=11 ttl=254 time=1.1 ms 64 bytes from 134.84.84.84: icmp_seq=12 ttl=254 time=0.8 ms 64 bytes from 134.84.84.84: icmp_seq=13 ttl=254 time=0.8 ms 64 bytes from 134.84.84.84: icmp_seq=14 ttl=254 time=0.8 ms 64 bytes from 134.84.84.84: icmp_seq=15 ttl=254 time=0.8 ms 64 bytes from 134.84.84.84: icmp_seq=16 ttl=254 time=310.0 ms 64 bytes from 134.84.84.84: icmp_seq=17 ttl=254 time=0.8 ms 64 bytes from 134.84.84.84: icmp_seq=18 ttl=254 time=0.7 ms --- 134.84.84.84 ping statistics --- 19 packets transmitted, 19 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 0.7/34.2/310.0 ms
