Packets Lost:
The number of packets unaccounted for, shown in total and as a percentage of total packets
sent. This statistic may be updated during the Ping test, and may not be accurate until after the test is over.
However, if an escalating one-to-one correspondence is seen between
Packets Out
and
Packets Lost
, and
Packets In
is noticeably lagging behind
Packets Out
, the destination is probably unreachable. In this case, use
STOP PING
.
Round Trip Time (Min/Max/Avg):
Statistics showing the minimum, maximum, and average number of
seconds elapsing between the time each Ping packet was sent and the time its corresponding return Ping
packet was received.
The time-to-live (TTL) value for each Ping packet sent by the Netopia R7100 is 255, the maximum allowed. The
TTL value defines the number of IP routers that the packet can traverse. Ping packets that reach their TTL value
are dropped, and a “destination unreachable” notification is returned to the sender (see the table on the
previous page). This ensures that no infinite routing loops occur. The TTL value can be set and retrieved using
the SNMP MIB-II ip group’s ipDefaultTTL object.
Trace Route
You can count the number of routers between your Netopia Router and a given destination with the Trace Route
utility.
In the Statistics & Diagnostics screen, select
Trace Route
and press Return. The Trace Route screen appears.
To trace a route, follow these steps:
1.
Select
Host Name or IP Address
and enter the name or address of the destination you want to trace.
2.
Select
Maximum Hops
to set the maximum number of routers to count between the Netopia Router and
the destination router, up to the maximum of 64. The default is 30 hops.
3.
Select
Timeout (seconds)
to set when the trace will timeout for each hop, up to 10 seconds. The default is
3 seconds.
Trace Route
Host Name or IP Address:
Maximum Hops: 30
