Travis,
When you unplug the inet connection, of course, the traffic will be
limited to TCP requests coming from the clients so this could be a
problem with how the traffic coming into the network, IP related issues,
or possible a bug but this is at the end of the list ;). Few questions:
1. At the CPE, routed or bridged?
2. Are you blocking all MACs except for your customers at the
AP?
3. The RG-1000 at the router is this going directly into the
router or is there a local switch, if there is a switch try going
directly to the router.
4. "Shut off certain customers" are you doing this at the
customer RGs? If not, disable the Ethernet port and see what happens.]
5. Put everyone at 64k on both the up and down links, and watch
the statically data on dropped packets see if you notices a different.
6. If bridged have you sniffed the network to make sure there is
no IP duplication.

Subject: [Karlnet] Bandwidth problems
Importance: High
I'm hoping I can get some really good and helpful suggestions on this
one. It's killing me.
Here's the scoop:
Router --> link --> base --> customers
-Router represents my Cisco boundary router and T1's
-Link is a series of bridged RG-1000's running Karlnet 4.02
-Base is an AP-1000 running 4.02 as well
-Customers (about 35 of them) that are almost all RG-1000's running a
mix of 3.88 and up
Ping the link: 10 ms
Ping the base: 20 ms
Ping a customer: 1000 - 3000 ms, throughput is garbage
Shut off certain customers and the speeds get better for a bit. I
guarantee at 5 p.m. tonight, the problem goes away. It'll be back
tomorrow. This started Friday, no significant changes to the network
last week, but I've seen this problem before.
Odd side-effect: Unplug our Internet feed, the times all drop to 20-30
ms. Plug it back in, the pings slowly climb back to 1-3 sec.
I have three other bases that are not affected by this problem, all with
less than 20 customers.
This is a super bad situation that I MUST get resolved or I'm toast.
Thanks in advance for an help you can offer.
Travis
