Hello all...

I can't figure this out, it really isn't my job but someone needs to help these guys at VDI. All day long every 8 minutes VDI would suddenly start dropping packets. It would be about every 8 minutes or so and they would completely time out for about 1 minute, then come right back.Other than that they were fast all day. Tonight (1 AM) EST, they are still doing the same thing only now about every 16 minutes.

I know this has to be some cron job or something running somewhere in the network. It is driving me crazy and not to mention my clients. I have posted some pictures of ping plotter. The first is this afternoon.

I have similar problem with OLM, but i have not found any regularity in packet drops. Traceroute shows that Teleglobe and alter.net drops packets too. (up to 50% metered by pingplotter).
Somebody knows, what's up?
