<div dir="ltr"><div>Can you describe what happens when it goes up and down? I.E., is there an actual carrier disconnect (for instance, if it's DSL, does the DSL disconnect), or does it stop routing?<br><br></div>For a long time, I puttered around via my 3mbit DSL line. Then, I decided it would be worth it to upgrade the service to 10mbit. The 3mbit line was rock-solid, without any outage, ever. They had to move me to a different DSLAM for the 10mbit card. At first they plugged me into a card that was dead, so they had to move me to a new card. Now, it seems as if every 4th or 5th connection attempt, the connection fails. For example, on Facebook refreshes, half the photos don't show up on my wall, and websites often time out. At some point I'm going to start up a bunch of traceroutes in parallel to see how many of them fail.<br>

</div>ping is a coarse tool -- snmp has 'traps' for interfaces going<br>
up and down and appears to be supported<br>

check toward the bottom of the page for some of the monitoring<br>
