Package: ppp Version: 2.4.5-4 Severity: normal Tags: squeeze Over my ppp link I use the source address my ISP assigns me, as well as a class C subnet, 203.24.247.0/24. Every now and then traffic for 203.24.247.0/24 breaks. Traffic to/from my regular IPv4 address continues successfully. From tcpdumps I've run on my router I can see traffic arriving for 203.24.247.1, and being sent out, but the far end never receives the traffic. I believe the packets are being dropped by a router or DSLAM in my ISP's network.
I've reported this to my ISP (internode.on.net) and they say they have seen this problem before with 2 other customers, who were all running Debian. They haven't given me much other detail on the other customers (which due to Australian privacy laws is not surprising), so apart from knowing those customers are running Debian, I don't know what failure mode they experienced. Internode have told me that they weren't running an extra public /24, so they haven't had the same failure mode as I have. One of those other customers was running Linux Debian 2.3.32.5, with PPP 2.4.5-4, and an ATM Traverse Solos PCI Card. They also won't tell me the model numbers of their equipment that is involved, or the patch level. I'm using a speedtouch ST546 adsl modem over ethernet. Are you aware of any similar issues? Is there internal information I can lookup in ppp with gdb that might be useful? -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-486 Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages ppp depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libpam-modules 1.1.1-6.1+squeeze1 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 1.1.1-6.1+squeeze1 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 1.1.1-6.1+squeeze1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpcap0.8 1.1.1-2+squeeze1 system interface for user-level pa ii procps 1:3.2.8-9 /proc file system utilities ppp recommends no packages. ppp suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/chatscripts/gprs [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/chatscripts/gprs' /etc/chatscripts/pap [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/chatscripts/pap' /etc/ppp/options changed: asyncmap 0 auth crtscts lock hide-password modem debug lcp-echo-interval 30 lcp-echo-failure 4 noipx +ipv6 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
