RE: Hping/Ping

Hi,
Yes there are no hops, I'm just pinging the router infront of me.

# netstat -nI silbpi1
Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs
Coll
silbp 1500 <Link#2> 00:e0:ed:0c:a8:5d 1009627153 2459 1323071177 0
0
silbp 1500 x.x.x.x x.x.x.x 606092 - 1323073544 - -

There are errors, but that was from when I was changing the mode of the
interface (from autosense) - they don't increment as the pings drop..


# ifconfig silbpi1
silbpi1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM>
inet x.x.x.x netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast x.x.x.x
ether 00:e0:ed:0c:a8:5d
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active

The silbpi card uses the em driver - I tried the onboard em cards but had
the same problem..


I've also connected a cable to my other card, silbpi0, which does no traffic
and pinging on there is stable. That seems to indicate it's something card
specific, but hping never has a problem ?

Thanks for the help
Dave

Dear Dave,

Also, if I use tethereal to sniff for icmp packets to the host I'm
pinging I see them all even though I am getting drops --

23 packets transmitted, 22 packets received, 4% packet loss

The last two lines of my tethereal --

45 22.214610 x.x.x.x -> y.y.y.y ICMP Echo (ping) request
46 22.215133 y.y.y.y -> x.x.x.x ICMP Echo (ping) reply

46/2 (request/reply) = 23. So 23 packets actually went out and returned,
yet
I still get drops?

*) You ping machine to machine (no other hops between)?
*) ifconfig <yournetworkinterface>
*) netstat -nI <yournetworkinterface>

Kind regards,
Ingo Flaschberger
