GL-XE3000 and ICMP Rate Limiting

Routers

Hi! Does the Puli AX (GL-XE3000) on Firmware 4.7.4 have some type of ICMPv4 ping rate limiting? It's providing WAN to a Netgate SG-8200 as a failover and it uses dpinger to (8.8.8.8) to check for connectivity. It works for several seconds and then I stop getting ICMP responses back from 8.8.8.8.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

We don't have such ICMPv4 ping rate limitation.

Could you please try running a ping test to 8.8.8.8 from both the Puli AX and the Netgate at the same time?
This will help identify where the issue is occurring.

I figured it out. pfSense/Netgate uses, by default, 1-byte payloads for dpinger for health checks which T-Mobile US 5G silently drops. I increased the payload to either 32 or 56-bytes and the pings are no longer ignored or rate-limited. Thanks for the response.
