1127.0. "DEChub90 CRC problem" by ANTIK::WESTERBERG (Stefan Westerberg DC SN&O Stockholm) Fri Jun 17 1994 15:58

	Hi, I have seen a couple of cases where high bursty traffic generates
	alot of CRC error. On 70000 packets up to 5 CRC packets could be 
	recived.

	On one site the customer swapped every thing except for the backplane.
	The test the customer did was to copy a file between two AXP systems.	
	
	I have reproduced the problem inhouse with a DEChub90 with one
	DB90, DA90 and DR90T. On the DR90T I connected a DECpacketprobe90
	and a Sniffer. They both reported CRC errors when the hub was
	reciving a high traffic load from a DEC3300 doing a ping -l 70000 -s 400
	to the DECagent90. The load on the hub reported by the sniffer
	was an average on 85% with peaks up to 98%.

	It seems that the DEChub90 don't handle high traffic loads very well !
	Any comments ?
