Thanks for the clarification. My engineers did a massive "cleanup" of the
cables in the switch room and networks moved all over the place. Doing a "-A"
instead of a "-a" on ovtopofix may have helped.
The other thing I found out that may have affected my overall problem was an
iptables rate limit placed on tcp and icmp.

No. The synchronizing is between the GUI, specifically ipmap, and the
underlying NetView databases. It usually happens at start-up when ipmap asks
ovtopmd for all the status changes that have occurred since he was
last shut down. When ipmap closes normally it he sets a field in the map
db with the close time. When you manipulate the map in other ways,
especially by edit, the synchronizing occurs because ipmap thinks that he has
to verify the status of the remaining and underlying objects displayed.
Ofhand I don't know why your synch time is so slow. You might want to close
the GUI and run ovtopofix

Can anyone shed light on the parameters of the "synchronizing" process that
takes place periodically as maps are manipulated. I don't see much processor
time being used (using the TOP command) but it is taking a long time to
complete whenever it runs. By a long time I mean over an hour on a network with
about 40K elements.
Specifically I would like to know if it involves actual communications with the
devices on the network.
