Re: long delay between circuits..

I got several replies,, and I investigated it more.

We are using tiered T3 service from uu.net, and I suspect that
uu.net use ATM QoS scheme between hop 4 and hop 5.
(We are using 30 Mbps from uu.net)

(But, I knew that the way of tiered bandwidth was using control
 of CSU -LARSCOM-.)

Is it true that uu.net use ATM QoS scheme (i.e. rate control 
by leaky bucket algorithm) for shaping bandwidth ?

When the link has avaible bandwidth, the response time of PING
is much faster. But the RTT of PING is slow when the link goes
to peak rate. --But there are no *packet loss*--

I think it is similar to *rate control*.

Is there any comments ?

I would suggest getting UUnet to do perform 2 traceroutes back to your originating address.

The problem could be that when your traffic hits hop 6 it has a different return route which
has poorer performance.
If UUnet performs the traceroutes from the hop 5 and hop 6 routers towards you you will see the path both
takes. If they are both the same path then it would definately appear to be a problem on their
link. If the route back from hop 5 is different than from hop 4 I would suggest checking for the problem spot
in that traceroute.
