Re: ping spikes
What are the servers serving ? Is the CPU load normal ?
200ms will last for how many ping packets ?

Re: ping spikes
From which machine you are giving ping command
form windows 98 or windows 2000 or unix . Try from diffrent platform and see the same problem exists.
I don't think a single packet round trip time of 200ms should be considered as a problem

Re: ping spikes
lanadmin
lan
display
to verify that you are not getting too many collisions and that you do not have a Duplex mismatch?
My bet would be that there is something in the output queue that has to be processed before it can send the echo reply (or in the input queue on either end). Are you perhaps running GATED (RIP or OSPF?) or anything else which sends something out regularly? Or maybe something external like MRTG or OpenView which is asking for a lot of data?
A sniffer might tell you what's going on.

Re: ping spikes
We have pinged from one host to another on the same LAN via a switch to avoid the routers. The spike is still there. GATED is not running, and lanadmin shows no errors and very few collisions. nettl has error reports turned on and does how quite a few TCP dropped packets, location 20 with RST sent and others with no RST sent, but I beleive this is normal. There are not reports against ICMP at all and it has WARNING all reports turned on.
There is a big OpenView machine on the net but I don't think it is too invasive.

Re: ping spikes
netstat -p icmp
show anything funny? Probably not. I'm inclined to believe it's further up in the layers. Perhaps the CPU has some housekeeping it needs to do and is a little slow about getting back with the echo reply?
Just for fun do a
ping hostname 1400
which will send out big pings and see if you see anything interesting happening.
We no longer have any 10.20s around that are easy to ping. I tried it on an 11.0 and on an old 10.01 and never saw any increase. Perhaps you need the latest ARPA patch?

Re: ping spikes
netstat -p icmp shows nothing in terms of errors etc.

Re: ping spikes
It was stopped and the spikes seem to disappear. Startit again and the spikes come back.
I'm not sure why diagmond should have this affect on the LAN however.

Re: ping spikes
Patches, are you up to date?
We had a situation where ping times gradually climbed until the machine was rebooted. That NIC card eventually had to go.
If you have a linux box, do a ping -f IP_ADDY and see what percentage gets through. This is a stress test, so you need to be careful.
If you get a figure below 100% you have router or network issues and they could be physical.
I have never seen ping repsonse times affected, even when the machine was doing 100% being stressed out by an oracle process.
While the oracle data is moving through the card, response times went up a little, but remained constant. To spikes at all.
