The first hop (192.168.2.1) is my TP-Link WDR-3600 router with OpenWRT.
At the time of the test with mtr, I was connected with my notebook to
that router wirelessly. The second hop (10.1.0.10) is my firewall with
Debian Jessie. It called my attention to see packet loss in both,
although I was struck by the fact that from the cablemodem everything
turned red for a few seconds at the time the connections freeze.

The cablemodem is 192.168.1.1, so the CMTS is 10.96.0.1. I've been
watching mtr for a few minutes waiting for the ssh connections to freeze
and I've only seen that the hops from the cablemodem turn red when
everything freezes. I'm going to do the test again by connecting
directly via ethernet to ensure the results are reproducible.

Thanks for your reply and your time.


Kind regards,
Daniel
