[OZAPRS] Re: Dupes to APRS-IS from VK5

Here are a few items that can cause delays in packets.

Note that once the delay in the packet is over time X (not sure of the
value) the APRS-IS system will consider the packet to be a new packet, not a
duplicate.

- Digipeater TNC holding the packet.
- The packet takes more than one route to the IGate and the delay on the
longer route is more than the dup detection timeout on the IGate.
- Some APRS applications (not correctly configured) can transmit a log of an
earlier transmission to RF or ARPS-IS.
- Some IGate applications hold packets for a time before passing them on.
- Some ISPs and / or IP networks can delay data being sent to / from them.
- A combination of the above.

Cheers
