Hello list, I have question regarding network/routing. However it is not directly openbsd related (I can see the same even on windows machines) I decided to ask here because I know that there are many experienced admins here and there is wealth of expertise on such things on this list.
On my site there are about 10 clients which connects to an internet database host. >From time to time connection gets lost and sometimes the clients reconnect after a while but sometimes the database app breaks. When doing network diagnostics with mtr(8) which combines the functionality of traceroute(8) and ping(8) it shows the packets hopping through 8 to 9 hosts to reach the destination. When running this tool for a few hours it shows that two hosts in this route produces packet loss (~20%). My Question: is there anything I can do about that by myself or is only option to contact the admin of these hosts and hope that they are willing to fix whatever problem there is?
