I also wonder what the implications are as to what we measure ... at the moment fping sends the icmp packets back-to-back intentionally, to get a educated snapshot of what the link looked at measurement time ... spreading the packets over the measurement periode looses that advantag and goes into the direction of 'I want to measure more often' this is already configurable by lowering the step size so I am not sure this is a good idea ... cheers tobi -- ______ __ _ /_ __/_ / / (_) Oetiker @ ISG.EE, ETL F24.2, ETH, CH-8092 Zurich / // _ \/ _ \/ / System Manager, Time Lord, Coder, Designer, Coach /_/ \.__/_.__/_/ http://people.ee.ethz.ch/oetiker +41(0)44-632-5286 -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/smokeping-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
