While we are not seeing any packet loss (and we're not using
802.1q) we are seeing a strange delay on packets received by
the GEIP+. The delay intervals are a distribution ranging
between 1 and about 30 mS on traffic through the router. It
shows up when we ping the router, too -- but we know that's
not a good test. There is no delay on packets that arrive
on another interface and exit the router on the GEIP+.
We have not made any progress on this with TAC. They have
been scrounging around attempting to find a spare to send us.
It appears that the TAC supply of NBD spares of the GEIP is
depleted.
Typically, when parts are hard to find, it's because of either
o The economy is booming and demand has skyrocketed
-- or --
o There's a manufacturing hold because some sort of problem
has been detected with the product.
That is pure speculation on my part. I do know that TAC has
not been able to tell me _why_ they can't meet their contract
committments.
