[nSLUG] Significant packet loss with aliant?

Mon Nov 27 18:30:10 AST 2006

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.  Actually I was just looking for someone
else running on Aliant to compare their mtr stats.  But our
network guy hooked up outside our firewall and reported the
traffic is fine from there, which means something is
wonky with the FreeBSD firewall.  It time for it to be
upgraded anyway, so it is quite likely we will go that route
and get ipfw updated.
