My dad is having serious come-and-go packet loss issues with his ISP (a Vernal local wireless setup). I'd like to give him some leverage with some nice cacti graphs of packet loss, but I'm having a hard time pinning down precisely what to graph.
The following is an excerpt of /proc/net/snmp: Tcp: RtoAlgorithm RtoMin RtoMax MaxConn ActiveOpens PassiveOpens AttemptFails EstabResets CurrEstab InSegs OutSegs RetransSegs InErrs OutRsts Would any of those directly measure packet loss? If not, might some of the stats in /proc/net/tcp (or anywhere else) have the information (which I could then get into SNMP easy enough). It'd be really nice if I could tell on the router what kind of packet loss is happening, but I'm not sure you can do that, and since the subnet is a whole two computers that's not a big issue. -- Hans Fugal ; http://hans.fugal.net There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself. -- Johann Sebastian Bach
