Quote from: djadamuk have now switched to 212.159.13.19/.50
I hope that is a typo! The other servers are 212.159.13.49 and 212.159.13.50.
(If 19 is what you are trying to use it could explain why you are still having problems!)

Can I just restart the PPP session or do I have to drop the ADSL link entirely?

Not too sure about what traceroute all means but this was the poorest example from about 10 tests that I made. Many of the others were OK but by now it is an hour later and things seem to be working again.
Note that I appear to be on ptn.
tcptraceroute 212.159.6.9

I've gone into several dozens of different websites - and no failures !
I'm really not trying to defend PN here - as I would moan if I had problems

Quote from: mal0z ........I've been on line almost continuously for the last 48 + hours apart from sleeping and not had an issue at all ?
I've had my share of problems over the last few weeks, yesterday was particularly bad around 1030, 1200 again around 1700, 1930 & 2130 and finally between 0010 & 0030 (worst period when just about everything was failing).
Today has been clear until just recently when one of my sipgate lines failed to register.......
[Jul 8 22:30:41] WARNING[1722]: chan_sip.c:2907 create_addr: No such host: sipgate.co.uk
[Jul 8 22:30:41] WARNING[1722]: chan_sip.c:7509 transmit_register: Probably a DNS error for registration to xxxxxxx@sipgate.co.uk, trying REGISTER again (after 20 seconds)
[Jul 8 22:31:13] NOTICE[1722]: chan_sip.c:7433 sip_reg_timeout: -- Registration for 'xxxxxxx@sipgate.co.uk' timed out, trying again (Attempt #1)
seems to have registered OK on the second attempt, so a good day really. (I'll probably kick myself for saying it! )

Have you checked which load balancer you are going through?
@mateybass
I suspect the reports in the router logs may be due to responses to DNS lookups returning after a long delay.

After almost exhausting all of our options looking at the DNS caching platform itself we started checking checking the flows on the Ellacoya (traffic management) platform. Without a huge amount of digging we noticed that some of the traffic to and from the DNS platform was being picked up by a new Ellacoya Signature that was added last week. This had been provided to us by Arbor/Ellacoya and was intended to better identify eDonkey/eMule traffic.
We've raised a case with our supplier and have removed the offending signature so I'd appreciate any feedback on whether or not this seems to have improved the situation?
Thanks everybody for your patience.
@dannykos, are you running your traceroutes from a Windows box or are you using a different OS? The reason I ask is because I wouldn't expect ICMP traces to be affected if this is actually down to the dodgy Ellacoya sig.

Firstly Bob, thanks to you and your engineers for what you're doing. Service with plus net is excellent, always pleased. Downside is it's a BT telephone line haha
I've had no problems this morning at all. And i've been on since 9am. Currently running on DNS servers 212.159.6.9 & 212.159.13.50. Occasionally I have issues during the day (did quite a bit yesterday), but its mostly the evening where i'm affected.

Four of the servers at one of the sites you connect to for DNS resolution keep on failing TCP/IP heathchecks in the load balancer.

Does the problem with the Ellacoya account for the four DNS servers failing?
