Issues<BR></FONT><BR></P>
<DIV></DIV><!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT size=2>Hey Nog,<BR><BR>I am seeing really reduced performance to
international sites at the moment - we've got a client with an VPN tunnel who is
seeing 100ms of jitter and very low sustained throughput. Similarly, I have
another client who has an international managed WAN circuit with Orange and they
are seeing the same thing as well.<BR><BR>Whilst ICMP latency on both my DSL
link and my IP transit link in Brisbane (same provider) appears to be normal,
sustained throughput is a lot less than usually expected. There was some rumor
on the grapevine that there was an international fiber cut - is there any truth
to this?<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Curtis<BR><BR>PS: How bloody wet is it up here?
We're supposed to be the sunshine state!</FONT> </P></BODY></HTML>
