What is the best way to determine the amount of load a hiperarc is under? Is there an oid for the total control chassis back plane usage, or something similar? How do you determine the amount of processor usage on a total control chassis?

RE: (usr-tc) Websites failing on TCHub vs Ascend... Where to star t?
by Robb Bryn 10 Mar '00

I'm pulling my hair out on this one. The chassis is in public IP space (208.133.28.2 & 208.133.28.51), I am not blocking ICMP traffic in any way. I've set via RADIUS on all users to a default MTU of 1500 (Chassis reports user MTU set to 1500 when doing a "show remote user"). I can ping and telnet to both sites from a dialup. Just can't get to them with a browser. On stanews.wilmington.net I can get text... no pictures and it's dog slow. On www.genforum.com and www.genealogy.com it doesn't come up in the browser at all (reports no connection to the server). I'm clueless on this one...Sounds like a dead ringer for MTU,, but can't figure. But on my Ascend & Portmaster... No problems.
