Hello all,
I have recently connected my site to a remote office using a 9.744 Mbps point-to-point serial circuit over Satellite. I am seeing very strange errors on the interfaces and would appreciate assistance. Please reference the attached network diagram with the follow-up post containing the "show interfaces" below. The connection from my building to the satellite teleport is over ATM. I am seeing "output drops" on both sides of ATM circuit. The ATM circuit is one 9.744 Mbps PVC. I am also seeing errors on both HSSI interfaces. The HSSI circuit is timed off the satellite modem that is connected to the HSSI interface of Router B. I noticed by doing a show controllers that the receicved timing on the HSSI interface moves from 9743538 to 9745120 approximtely once every 30 seconds. However, I can not directly correlate the timing drift to the interface errors.
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
only router C has a severely errored interface, can you have the satellite modem checked for correct SNR as likely the problem lies in there.
As you see on router B the HSSI clock can fluctuate a little without causing any problem.

Thank you very much for the reply. We're currently looking into replacing the SAT modem connected to router C. The circuit had been running pretty well for about 4 weeks until we begun seeing errors this past week. What concerns me are the output packet drops on the ATM interface. I have noticed the clock fluctuating on the HSSI interface from 9743538 to 9745528, while the ATM is a constant 9744000. Do you think that the mismatch of speeds could be causing this? If not, do you have any ideas on how I could troubleshoot?

Hi, if had worked 4 fine weeks it's just a matter of checking something on the dish and related equipment and fix it. For example a faulty lnb can bring SNR low enough for the error correction on the sat link not suffice anymore.
