Re: Business FIOS looses connection

The only thing I can think of is this must have something to do with how Verizon builds the route table for the static IP addresses. A wireshark trace clearly shows traffic leaving the router for the ONT, I find it hard to believe that its an issue with the design... the traffic just never makes it back. I also find it interesting that I don't see ANY arp requests from the Verizon router. its almost like the verizon network is building the route table by arp broadcasts.
You may be onto something there. While I have no proof and I'm not a network engineer, I know enough and have seen enough to know that something is odd in Verizon's network. Look around and see complaints of DNS issues and slow page loads, even no page loads. Sometimes things get fixed with a Retry, sometimes things are fine minutes later. Sometimes it takes a call to FSC, where they say we aren't aware of any issues, but suddenly something gets fixed and it now works.
It's their ad-hoc, flexible routing that seems to stumble to its knees on occasion. It may be their "high-bandwidth so close to the end-point" requirements that you're seeing. |
