The RTTs depend entirely on what the hardware is doing, and what it is capable of doing. I'm not a bit surprised that you're seeing an increase in MEDIAN latency and also in the variability of the RTT figures (more smoke:). Try looking at the graphs while you slowly add one host at a time. Take some screenshots for each situation after it has been running for a few hours, so that you can get a feel for the steady-state condition. Then load the network with soem traffic and see what happens. > I'm running smokeping 2.0.9 on Debian Etch machine, network interface > is some Intel Fast Ethether on-board device. I run Etch on a couple of machines and one of them is my Smokeping master - but I'm using the latest version of Smokeping, it's quite easy to install it on Debian. I also posted modifications here on the list a few weeks back which permit reasonable rendering of the graphs with logarithmic scales if you're interested. Sometimes my network RTTs would go right off the scale on a linear graph: http://www.jubileegroup.co.uk/JOS/misc/webserver_logarithmic_graph.gif Something like this is nothing to wory about as long as you know what's happening in there. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ smokeping-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/smokeping-users
