      Geez…we all have learning experiences but I feel node down and packet dropped should be a clear distinction in the mind of anyone in IT…but people will surprise you

        Full stack dev/ops: “We can’t keep having these emergency calls just because Solarwinds dropped a packet.”

        Me: “I’m running a continuous ping and it’s all timing out.”

        FSD: “Well the server is up.”

        Me: “I understand that. Trace looks like it’s dropping at the MPLS router.”

        FSD: “So it’s a monitoring issue.”

        Me: “No you clod, it’s networking.”

        Network VP: “A few dropped packets are normal, what’s the problem here?”
