After tinkering around and tracing some of the communications between my computer and Tranquility, I found the main TQ IP I was connecting to, plus to route to it. I pinged some of the machines on the way:
## My router
--- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics ---
200 packets transmitted, 200 received, 0% packet loss, time 40046ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.285/0.467/5.745/0.554 ms
## Next hop past my router
--- 10.7.120.1 ping statistics ---
200 packets transmitted, 193 received, 3% packet loss, time 40004ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 8.152/16.626/133.474/12.015 ms
## Tranquility
--- 87.237.34.200 ping statistics ---
200 packets transmitted, 192 received, 4% packet loss, time 39989ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 84.662/94.003/211.955/14.740 ms, pipe 2
## Unrelated website far away
--- google.co.uk ping statistics ---
200 packets transmitted, 179 received, 10% packet loss, time 40000ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 43.210/52.396/184.908/13.020 ms
Looks like uniform up to 10% packet loss anywhere past my router. This is not a CCP problem. At a friend’s suggestion, I re-seated and tightened the coax cable on my modem. Outcome:
## My router
--- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics ---
200 packets transmitted, 200 received, 0% packet loss, time 40034ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.266/0.351/2.064/0.159 ms
## Next hop past my router
--- 10.7.120.1 ping statistics ---
200 packets transmitted, 200 received, 0% packet loss, time 40006ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 8.113/15.783/82.173/6.548 ms
## Tranquility
--- 87.237.34.200 ping statistics ---
200 packets transmitted, 200 received, 0% packet loss, time 39978ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 83.873/93.895/212.113/15.448 ms, pipe 2
All packet loss is gone. I will re-test Eve and see if my weird issues are gone. If they are indeed gone, then Eve may be impressively unable to handle graceful degradation over a crappy network, but we all already knew that. I’ll post another update on how awfully my experience goes.
