Strange BQM graph


[link to this post] 		 
This is my bqm graph for 24 hours. Looks very strange to me

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/share/7da8ecedd2e...

I am using a Fritz!Box 3490

Do you have any thoughts

Restart fritzbox?

The fact that latency does not appear to have increased averages etc and just jumps from ok to full red suggests might be a software issue in responding to ICMP. Does the connection show lots of packet loss in use or with outbound pings.

The box has been set to factory defaults, but no change.

There seems to be no effect on using the broadband connection, browsing and email fine, and speed-tests running at usual level - 68-ish Mb

It is a new router bought this week, and has shown the symptoms since installation. Replacing the Fritz!Box with my previous router saw everything back to normal.

Mine's been odd recently too (7490).

My Broadband Ping

I've noticed this behaviour before, when I've had both BQM and f8lure running at the same time, but I can only see echo requests from pingbox1.thinkbroadband.com atm.

Interesting that you are on Zen as well...

OK, Zen (support01.tsupp.zen.net.uk) are pinging my router too. The fritz!box thinks it's an attack and is dropping packets.

In reply to a post by ukwiz:

I was with PlusNet when I first noticed.

If you login at http://fritz.box/html/capture.html it's possible to capture traffic in Wireshark format.

Open the file, and filter on icmp. You'll be able to spot if there's more than one BQM (1 ping/sec) or another monitor running on your address.
