Fred, in general I do not think circuits should be
flapping.
So feel free to give some more details, and maybe we can help figure out what
the problem is...
I agree.
Yesterday, I upgraded from SIMH 3.11 to 4(mumble) that is available on
github. The local adjancencies between MISER, FRUGAL, and CHEAP are no
longer flapping and there have only been a handful of Multinet links going
up and down since 16:53 Eastern time yesterday. None since 21:53 local
time. So, I'd say that's "better" but not ideal.
Previously, the operator.log on VMS was "full" of flap messages, to both
Multinet links and local adjacencies.
I'm open to share more details as needed. What would you like to know?
I know that due to my own doing there are multiple layers at play here
(Linux, VirtualBox Linux VM, *then* SIMH) but that's more for my
convenience for ease of management and to not pollute the underlying
physical Linux host.
