Re: does this look like oversold bandwidth?
said by zed260  :speed test vs expected speed at peak time will give better idea Incorrect... It may give you a general Idea, but it wont tell what you need to know.
Post your signal levels. When your internet gets slow run a tracert to google.com or some other site that is generally fast.
If your modem is consistently losing connection during peak time all lights but the "online" light. That would be an extremely oversold node... High ping times to the UBR would be a moderately oversold node. Good ping times to the UBR but bad ping times further down the line... Not oversold... just not enought bandwidth to the headend... easier and more likely to be fixed.
The most common problem is in the combining. The minimum number of UBR's required is usually what is there. So it is likely that there are simply too many nodes on your particular upstream port in the UBR and they will likely just try to "load balance" by moving nodes around. |
