[HECnet] "Dropped by adjacent node" ....

I appreciate the suggestions, but I'm not really interested in trying to re-architect HECnet. That's a losing battle - I just want my node to work :-) I tried sending the USR1 signal to the bridge program and got this - 0: legato 0.0.0.0:0000 (Rx: 827 Tx:11017 (Drop rx: 6)) Active: 1 Throttle: 278(114) 1: psilo 130.238.19:4711 (Rx:11044 Tx: 821 (Drop rx: 27)) Active: 1 Throttle: 115(332) Hash of known destinations: aa0004000d04 -> 1 (1.13) aa0004000f04 -> 1 (1.15) aa0004001404 -> 1 (1.20) aa0004001504 -> 1 (1.21) aa0004005e05 -> 1 (1.350) aa000400c205 -> 1 (1.450) aa0004000108 -> 0 (2.1) aa000400f810 -> 1 (4.248) aa000400ff17 -> 1 (5.1023) aa0004009021 -> 1 (8.400) aa0004009121 -> 1 (8.401) aa000400bc21 -> 1 (8.444) aa000400f421 -> 1 (8.500) aa000400022c -> 1 (11.2) aa000400032c -> 1 (11.3) aa000400642c -> 1 (11.100) aa0004000138 -> 1 (14.1) aa000400284c -> 1 (19.40) aa000400294c -> 1 (19.41) aa0004000470 -> 1 (28.4) aa0004002970 -> 1 (28.41) aa000400feab -> 1 (42.1022) aa0004002fbc -> 1 (47.47) aa0004004dbd -> 1 (47.333) aa0004002bbe -> 1 (47.555) aa0004002cbe -> 1 (47.556) aa0004002fbe -> 1 (47.559) aa000400bcbe -> 1 (47.700) aa000400bdbe -> 1 (47.701) aa000400d7be -> 1 (47.727) aa0004000bec -> 1 (59.11) aa00040005f8 -> 1 (62.5) aa0004007dfa -> 1 (62.637) Note that I restarted it about 30 minutes ago, so this data is just for that period of time. My first observation is that's a lot of routing nodes, but that's probably neither here nor there. Also I'm struck by the asymmetry in the number of packets sent vs received. I guess that makes sense, since I'm transmitting routing and hello messages for only one node (LEGATO) and receiving them from beaucoup nodes. And I'm not sure that the throttling in the bridge is about... Bob
