Re: UUNET Routing issues

  • From: Jared Mauch

	The Juniper routers (it appears they are based on
the interface naming scheme) tend to have incredible buffering capabilities
as compared to the predecasors of the time.  This allows a full link
to not drop packets and fully buffer them over a period of time.

	This obviously has ramifications when it relates to tcp timing
and when you go from having a 20ms rtt for a packet to 1000+ms.  tcp
obviously will think that there is some loss.
