<DIV>Hi Tom,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I see node N3RA has changed to 4.4.25 and I wonder if you have
noticed any difference?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On my Spider link to ARC with this latest version, the same
problem persists.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi Eric</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>When I first had this problem with version 4.4.23,
Dave, W9ZRX, was looking at the ARC log, and reported to me that I was
not sending the pings. When I looked at the spider debug log, I
could see that I was sending them. Evidently ARC was throwing them
away before they were being logged. Comparing the two logs gives a
better picture.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>As I understand what happened in version 4.4.23, a
copy of the last packet received from a node was compared to the next
incoming packet. If they were identical, then the incoming packet
was thrown away. If the link is busy with PC19s, PC16s etc, then
there might never be a problem. When all you send out on the link
(like I do) is the every 5 minute ping and an every 14 minute PC50, two
in a row pings can get tossed into the bit bucket. Increasing the
obs count will get past this, but your round-trip-times will look
terrible. I ended up changing my PC50 times to every 5
minutes. This logic also caused havoc with mail longer than 9
lines. The PC31s were getting discarded and the mail hung.
(BTW, this has been fixed in 4.4.24)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I have no idea what Terry did in version 4.4.24, but
it has not really cured the problem.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hi Tom </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a Spider node that was disconnecting every 10 minutes
with a new version ARC.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I did an extensive test with a 4.4.24 ARC and my Spider
cluster and Spider did not send a ping to ARC during the 25
minute test period (it was sending pings out on Spider links). It
did receive pings every 5 minutes from the ARC and ignored every
other one. I was getting disconnections every 10 minutes so
I re-did the test after setting obs to 3. This time the
unanswered ping dropped the obs count to 2 and the answered
ping returned the count to 3 with no disconnection. It therefore
appears for me that Spider doesn't ping ARC and it
disconnects a link with ARC on the next ping following the
obs count reaching 1 instead of zero. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So, oddly my result is different to yours. I can stay
connected by increasing the obs setting. This is weird.</DIV>

[Dxspider-support] disconnects from ARCluster nodes</DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>New ARC software was installed on N3RA, the node I connect
to, last night.</DIV>
<DIV>Version 4.4.24. Except for the very first ping
right after initialization,</DIV>
<DIV>my pings to N3RA are not answered. Setting OBS
higher no longer works. I</DIV>
<DIV>tried it at 4.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have turned pinging off (set/ping 0 n3ra) in order to stay
connected.</DIV>
