Morac join:2001-08-30 Riverside, NJ kudos:1 Reviews: ·Comcast	Line Quality Results Unreliable I ran two line quality tests today and you can see from the results (links below), they are showing 50 to 92% packet loss. I was away from home for the first test which freaked me out, but when I got home and tested on my end using pingtest.net, I showed 0% loss. I ran the test here again and got the 50 to 90% loss. So something is either wrong on the test servers end or somewhere in between. DSLR tests: »/pingtest/3382···/2857215 »/pingtest/357b···/2857195 Mutliple pingtest.net tests: -- The Comcast Disney Avatar has been retired.

Edit: Apparently Tomato has a built in iptable rule to limit incoming pings to 1 per second with a 5 burst limit. Anything exceeding that is dropped. N16:root iptables -vL \|grep -i icmp 20378 1709K ACCEPT icmp -- any any anywhere anywhere limit: avg 1/sec burst 5 See this post
