ITP (C2800 C2650XM) SACK problem

Dear Friends,

I encountered the M3UA problem on ITP. If enable multi-instance, the latency for ITP response SACK to ASP is almost 190ms. So ASP will resend the message. But if I disable multi-instance, ITP send SACK is shortly, ASP will not resend message to ITP.

ASP1(192.168.22.226)-------ITP(192.168.22.119)------ASP2(192.168.22.192)

Send message from ASP1 to ASP2. ITP perform GTT routing.

Here is captured log for enable Muli-instance:

**************************************

My question is:

1. If enable multi-instance on ITP, how to improve ITP response SACK packet in 100ms to ASP? I checked the CPU utilization, it was not exceed 10%.

2. ITP response SACK more than 190ms, is normal?

Thanks and regards,

Jeffrey

found a document about the similar problem between Cisco PGW and ITP

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/vcallcon/ps2152/products_tech_note09186a00802119b9.shtml#troubleshoot

There is no problem with the BEAT message you included, and the ITP responded properly with BEAT ACK. The "No Message Parameters" text is simply debug output indicating that there are no parameters included with this message....that is *NOT* an error.

Hi

Thansk for replay.

I mean the selective ack (know as “delayed ack”) message response to ASP was too slow after enable multi-instance.

I try to modify the delayed SACK value to 40ms that recommend for the Telecoms industry on ITP. But the minimum is 100ms.

cumulative-sack msec

Range is 100 through 500 milliseconds. The default is 200 milliseconds.

So I set to 100ms.

I found every SACK latency for data chunk to ASP was between 90ms to 106ms. And don't see duplicate data chunk from ASP, the problem has been resolved. By the way the network latency from ITP to ASP is within 1ms to 6ms.

Thanks

Jeffrey
