Hi all, I was able to get the trouble escalated to second tier support at my ISP, and we watched the tunnel flup for a bit. Traceroutes show very different paths in each direction, odd but not too unusual. That lead the engineer to check open tickets for the peering arrangement with Comcast. Evidently there is already an order in to upgrade the peering arrangement. Dropped packets = dropped tunnel One thing I learned from this is that if the tunnel is established but subsequently drops -- then that means the basic VPN configuration is likely to be OK -- and it means there is no filtering in place. Access Lists are not 'intermittent'. Thanks for your suggestions...
