Title: What is a DSL retrain ?
Post by: old Bill on Jul 21, 2007, 23:28:11
I found a day or so ago that my router stats gave a DSL retrain. The only reason I noticed was that my sync speed had changed slightly. I called my ISPs C/S who told me that I had not lost sync at there end. So can any one please tell me what a DSL retrain is ?

I'm guessing it's what most routers refer to as a framing error or loss of framing, Bill.

Thanks Rik, So what does that mean regards your connection ?

You've had a minor blip, not enough to drop sync but enough to cause the router to re-train with the DSLAM, probably happens in less than a second.
