The following are known problems/limitations with this release:
1. An upstream ping generated by a user from the ASN with a source IP address of an e0 interface and with Basic NAT or NAPT enabled will fail if the ping size is greater than 1472 data bytes. The failure is due to packets 2 through n of a fragmented data packet stream not being translated. This would result in the e0 interface IP address being transmitted onto the global network.
2. The global network address for Basic NAT is limited to a Class C network address.
3. Basic NAT and NAPT do not translate or forward the following ICMP packets received from the global network:
• Destination Unreachable
• Source Quench
• Redirect
• Parameter Problem on a Datagram
These packets will be discarded by the ASN. However, there is no indication in the statistics that they were discarded.
4. Basic NAT and NAPT do not successfully translate packets with IP options. Packets received containing IP options will become corrupted by the ASN.
5. The GlobeSpan IDSL transceiver and reference circuit do not fully meet the ANSI T1.601 standard for ISDN transport and interoperability. This limits the release as follows:
• This release interoperates with the following BRITE cards.
Conklin Model 326 I2 L3 BRITE card (using Motorola MC145572 transceiver)
Adtran Model U-BR1TE IV List 2 card (using Motorola MC145572 transceiver)
Pulsecom Model ISDN-U/2 BRITE card (using Lucent T7264 transceiver)
• The following BRITE cards are known not to interoperate with this release.
AT&T AHG18 BRITE Channel Unit (NT)
AT&T AHG28 BRITE Channel Unit (LT)
• The interoperability between this release and any BRITE card not listed above is unknown.
• This release operation with ISDN repeaters has been spot checked with negative results. Thus, operation with repeaters is not supported.
• Owing to T1.601 noncompliance, reach is limited to 12,000 feet of 26-gauge twisted pair when used with BRITE cards.
6. The GSI transceiver supports BERT in non-framed mode only. IDSL must run framed through BRITE cards. Thus, this release does not support BERT.
