Guus, Below a segment of a log file. I am trying to analyse why the satellite link goes down and up all the time (sometimes 10 to 15 times an hour, sometimes not for a day. My guess is that this indicates packet loss on the satelllite link and tinc not really recovering from that. Where I inserted an empty line the log basically stopped and was silent for I guess for 14 minutes? Would setting 'ReplayWindow = 0' provide some help here? The tunnel uses UDP. Any pointers as to what I could do about this? Where to look?
