Packet loss with VPDN
Hi,

in our setup, we have a Cisco 836 as CE, a AS5850 as LAC and a Juniper
E-710 as LNS. Control-plane wise, everything seems ok: the tunnel is
properly established between LAC and LNS and the session is also
established. However, when we do a ping from the 836 to the LNS over the
BRI interface (on which the PPP session to the LNS is established), we
get 50% packet loss:

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 213.224.248.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!.!.!
Success rate is 60 percent (3/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 56/56/56 ms

The corresponding 'debug vpdn packets' on the A5850:

As you can see, there are only 3 packets sent into the tunnel towards
the LNS (the icmp requests that are successful).
The config of the 836 is straightforward:
interface BRI0
bandwidth 64
ip address negotiated
encapsulation ppp
dialer idle-timeout 170
dialer enable-timeout 5
dialer string xxxxxxxxx
dialer-group 1
isdn switch-type basic-net3
isdn point-to-point-setup
no cdp enable
ppp authentication pap callin
ppp pap sent-username test@abc password 0 dummy
ppp multilink
end

The config on the 5850:

interface Serial0/1:15
no ip address
encapsulation ppp
dialer idle-timeout 0
no peer default ip address
isdn switch-type primary-net5
isdn incoming-voice modem
ppp authentication pap chap
ppp multilink
end
!
vpdn enable
vpdn source-ip x.x.x.x
vpdn ip udp ignore checksum
!
vpdn-group abc
request-dialin
protocol l2tp
domain abc
initiate-to ip x.x.x.x
local name LAC-ABC
l2tp sequencing
l2tp tunnel password 7 xxxxxxxx
!

We're running 12.3(14)T5 on the 5850 and 12.3(11)T3 on the 836.

Anybody any ideas? I've included more output below.

thanks,
