I am new to Smokeping and this list. I hope this is not a topic covered in a FAQ. At least I did not find it while looking for answers.
I have Smokeping running and working well. However, one of my remote interfaces is showing BigLoss twice a day. This site sends a very heavy load of FTP information during each of these windows when I experience the Bigloss alerts. My understanding is that if there is traffic enough to warrant, pings can be discarded to avoid unnecessary congestion. So, the question is, how do I get assurance there is an actual loss versus a heavy load of legitimate traffic which is therefore dropping pings? The connection is a point to point T1 using a Cisco PIX 501 on the remote side, coming into our OC-3. Is there a more "reliable" method I can use than Fping? We have no QoS available to implement here.
