It recommends evaluating RSSI, SNR, modulation rate, retransmissions, latency, sector utilization, and trends together to identify signal limitations, interference, changing RF conditions, and their effects on throughput. ### Source excerpt Troubleshooting Tarana wireless customer connections means looking at RSSI, SNR, modulation, retransmissions, latency, sector utilization, and trends together.

It reports observed origin ASNs from RIPE RIS collectors, collector visibility, RPKI/ROA status, and matching IRR route objects, with an optional expected origin ASN for comparison. ### Source excerpt A prefix can appear in the global BGP table and still have a routing problem. The route may originate from the wrong ASN. Its ROA may also authorize a shorter prefix but reject the advertised prefix length. Checking each part normally means pulling data from several routing tools. The J2SW Prefix Advertisement Checker, my 3rd ...

It explains how Layer 2 tags affect Ethernet frame size separately from IP MTU and describes overhead calculations, including cases where fragmentation can be avoided. ### Source excerpt Ever wondered what the effects of different combinations of PPPoE, GRE, and others have on the MTU of a packet? I am excited to announce the first of many J2 Network tools: the J2SW MTU and Encapsulation Calculator. You select the service MTU and the encapsulation used on the path. The calculator then works out ...

It describes how routes, distance, transit links, wireless interference, queues, and retransmissions can affect these conditions, and why speed tests may miss jitter that harms VoIP calls. ### Source excerpt Latency is the time a packet takes to make the trip. Jitter is the swing between packets. One makes the path feel far away. The other makes voice, video, gaming, and remote desktop feel broken.
