I agree.. A quick ping test of the GLBX/Vonage routers indicates a very familiar fault. Vonage/GBLX connections are suffering from Routing loops. 
Routing loops, where a packet goes bouncing back and forth between two routers until the TTL expires. When it gets into a loop, that same packet grabs 100x the bandwidth until the TTL expires. After that everything is normal for some period of time (30secs to a minute) until the senders TCP protocol times out and issues a retry.
If the routing loops get bad enough, then route flapping will also occur. |
