I see similar things on my wireless networks, and at one time I even hacked Smokeping to throw away the first of every group of RTT measurements because it was always much longer than the rest... Compared to the graphs I normally see on wired networks, your graphs are very 'smoky'. Incidentally I prefer logarithmic scales, see for example my current pressing issue: http://www.jubileegroup.co.uk/JOS/misc/BT_upgraded_line_sucks_3.jpg > I added a separate probe to switch1 with identical settings, but offset > by 30% so it runs shortly afterwards without overlapping.

I think you need to make sure that what Smokeping is telling you is what's really happening. But I also think you don't need me to tell you that. :) > Probes - http://www.mediafire.com/file/4rxpbuk79dp3y9d/Probes > Targets - http://www.mediafire.com/file/w6abkbt7936kxfw/Targets Same sort of thing I do: http://www.jubileegroup.co.uk/JOS/misc/Probes > Is there a way to avoid/circumvent the limit. Well presumably you can get the source for fping. :) I'm not above hacking code to get it to do what I want but it is better not to have to keep your patches up to date when you upgrade things. BTW I had an issue with FPing probes, because the parameters accepted by fping differ from one version to another and I had to hack Smokeping to get it to work on one of my systems. Can't remember which one right now but I think it was on Debian 'Lenny'. Something to watch out for if you're rolling your own fping. If you don't want to hack the code I wonder if you could for example run a bunch of slaves on virtual hosts on the same box? -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ smokeping-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/smokeping-users
