[comp.os.vms] CMU's TCP/IP

jrozbori@udenva.cair.du.edu (Jim Rozboril) (10/15/87)

We are currently running v6.0 of CMU's TCP/IP on an 11/750 running VMS 4.5
Things work fine for a while, but then something strangs happens.  It seems
as if TCP/IP gets into a weird state which causes telnet/ftp to slow down
making connections almost impossible, but it also affects DECnet in a similar
way.  I assume that DECnet is affected because TCP/IP does something to the
deuna (other DECnet connections which don't use the ethernet seem fine).
DECnet is not affected between any of the other machines in the cluster just
to and from the one running TCP/IP.

We have checked hardware, and have pretty much determined that it is the 
TCP/IP software.  I should also mention that restarting the daemon doesn't
help.  The only thing that seems to work is a reboot.

Any ideas/comments?   We are ordering the new version from CMU.

thanks in advance,
