I was asked to look into this because it looks like a hardware issue, and I usually don't handle issues on the public mailing list. I think what we would officially do in this case is to have this escalated through GE because we really need to reproduce the issue before we can look into it more carefully.
I'd also like to take it off-list because Outlook means I top-post for convenience, and threading is so broken I prefer not having the email thread trimmed. I know both of those things get you chastised on most mailing lists. Thanks.

Can you elaborate on the issues with short-lived connections? The hardware is the A10200 ATCA blade from GE. No idea if they had you do a design review. We saw the problems running at 10G over the XAUI link but I'm currently testing it at 1G to see if that improves reliability. > All of this might be better done through factory support, if you have > it. I think we probably have access to someone. I can pursue it through those channels if that's preferred.
