[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] KLOGGED MILNET BRIDGES

cpw%sneezy@LANL.GOV (C. Philip Wood) (12/22/88)

LANL cannot establish communication with ARPANET hosts through the
various "Mail Bridges".  DCA can reset our IMP, connections can be
established, mail flows... Then, some hours, later the pipes are
klogged again. It happens gradually. This has been going on since the
switch to the new PSN 7.0 IMP software.  Are we the only MILNET host
that is having this problem?  ITS NOT EGP!  Are there any hotshots out
there that know how and where to look for what's wrong?  Is this a know
problem that someone is working on?  Just what were the changes to the
IMP's, what was the purpose?

Are there some tools available to us (to run on 43BSD VAX) to psych this
problem out.  God I hope I haven't taken too long to compose this.

What follows is a summary of our implog for the time period:

	Dec 20 11:08:39 1988 to Dec 21 06:43:29 1988

The total time covered is about 4 hours less than that due to killing and
restarting the log daemon.  Let's say a 16 hour period.

Number of entries in the log:	25,677
