Tunnel.py hanging after some time

Hi,

I am having trouble with the tunnel.py in the digital foler appear to
stop
working after a while when using lower bitrates (around 0.5 MB/s) . When
I first
set up the newtork I am able to ping other nodes with no problem. After
some
time (sometimes less than half an hour) the pings are no longer
sucessful. I
checked and the gr interface remains up and correctly configured with
the ip
address. When I ping out any host I can see the transmission on a
spectrum
analyzer so I know the transmit path is still functioning. Higher bit
rates seem
to work for much longer periods of time. Has anyone else had similar
issues with
these bit rates? If so has anyone figured out the cause of the lost
connectivity?

I am using USRP2s with WBX cards and using 400 MHz carrier frequency. No
other
application traffic is being sent over the network.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,

Not sure whether we had the same issue. We modified the original
tunnel.py
to a multichannel based tunnel. We were able to connect multiple nodes
(USRP2+WBX) initially after running tunnel.py. We could ping every
nodes.
After a while, some nodes started to fail. If we restarted the failing
nodes, ping went through again. We were operating with 3 channels and
100kbps each on 400MHz.

Does anyone have a clue what is going on?
