Yeah. As I mentioned in my original post, setting the hostinterval does alleviate, to some extent, the issues I'm seeing- but only if I set it up to 15 SECONDS or higher (not milliseconds), thus resulting in an essentially unusable probe. Ping shows RTA's of around 600 ms typically. I have the timeout set to 2 seconds, which is well more than the latency I typically see, but even so that would only affect the last packet or two, and I never get more than two or three packets back total, regardless of how many I send out. And ping shows no loss- just FPing which shows 100% loss after the first few packets (few defined by how high I set the hostinterval for).
