Downlink lost, and got back

I have two nodes and a things gateway.

Some days ago I got this issue :

  • first node try to join netwok, gateway get packets but do not send any koin accept
  • second nodes uses ABP, it sends some frame, but it never gets hacks

In both cases, I can send join and uplink packets received on gateway side.
Only downlink is KO.

GW logs :

LORA: Accepted packet
MQTT: Sending UPLINK OK
LORA: Accepted packet
MQTT: Sending UPLINK OK
MON: SYS Stack size: 2837

And corresponding console logs!

My gateway is very near from my nodes (some meters), but I also tried to move it farther.

Some time ago I experienced this problem on my vlan because of incoming UDP traffic. But now I’ve checked UDP filtering, I tested with gateway connected to my phone configured as access point : GW could not send any downlink!

And now, after some testing : downlink is back.

How can we explain this behavior? How can we check TTN server are ok?
