Hello list, I have a really big problem with the loss of my MTP-link because of CRC errors. I constantly see messages like: Jul 3 13:46:06 NOTICE[18867]: mtp.c:1496 mtp_thread_main: Full Zaptel input buffer detected, incoming packets may have been lost on link 'l1'. Jul 3 13:46:06 NOTICE[18867]: mtp.c:1543 mtp_thread_main: Empty Zaptel output buffer detected, outgoing packets may have been lost on link 'l1'. Jul 3 13:46:06 NOTICE[18867]: mtp.c:1227 mtp2_read_su: MTP2 CRC error (CRC=0xba93 != 0xf0b8) on link 'l1'. Jul 3 13:46:06 NOTICE[18867]: mtp.c:1442 mtp_thread_main: Excessive poll delay 57756! Jul 3 13:46:06 NOTICE[18867]: mtp.c:1496 mtp_thread_main: Full Zaptel input buffer detected, incoming packets may have been lost on link 'l1'. Jul 3 13:46:06 NOTICE[18867]: mtp.c:1543 mtp_thread_main: Empty Zaptel output buffer detected, outgoing packets may have been lost on link 'l1'. Jul 3 13:46:06 NOTICE[18867]: mtp.c:1227 mtp2_read_su: MTP2 CRC error (CRC=0x9b7c != 0xf0b8) on link 'l1'. And on the other side of the SS7 link on an Alcatel switch there are CRC16 messages logged. I also see Jul 3 13:45:42 WARNING[18867]: chan_ss7.c:3598 monitor_main: MTP is now DOWN on link 'l1'. Jul 3 13:45:47 WARNING[18867]: chan_ss7.c:3594 monitor_main: MTP is now UP on link 'l1'. Jul 3 13:45:47 WARNING[18867]: chan_ss7.c:3601 monitor_main: MTP is now INSERVICE for linkset 'siuc'. This makes the connection very unreliable. Any idea how to solve this problem?
