I have a Linux server doing ping to about 130 remote hosts. It is monitoring the time response and making mrtg graphics on each host. Everything works ok, but there is a bureaucratic problem: in the project's documentation they say that the pings has to be done FROM the remote host TO the server. Why? I don't know, because every monitoring system i have seen does the pings probes or whatever itself. What do you think? There's any technical difference between doing the ping from one side or another in order to monitor time response? (Besides of the costs, of course. We should put a dedicated machine on every point.) I write this email to be used as an expert opinion in front of my counterpart.
