<p class="MsoNormal">A customer of mine has had the same issue with a TW-connected site in Ohio and another in PA. One VPN tunnel works fine, the other has one-way ISAKMP traffic to the other head-end, which connects to Level3. A traceroute shows the failing
path includes 66.109.7.162. The failing direction is from the PA/OH sites toward the L3 head end. Full-size pings work fine. It's the UDP/500 that vanishes. I.E., it has nothing to do with MTU.<br>
<br>
Both started having the issue around Aug 26. Mysteriously, every week to 10 days, the broken path will start working for a while. This is usually shortly after midnight EDT; they go back down 1-3 hours later and stay down. The log entries for the two sites
match within seconds.<br>
<br>
The customer's contract is with Comcast Business so it's been difficult to get to someone clueful about this symptom in TW.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">We have several offices over the Ohio and Pennsylvania area that are experiencing issues passing traffic over VPN tunnels (specifically, there is always a Spectrum >< Level 3 interconnect). It is a very strange issue. The VPN tunnel will
actually establish, and if you source your ping from inside the internal network across the VPN tunnel to the destination, the traffic gets there and replies, but the replies never make it back to the original sending point.<o:p></o:p></p>
