Not exactly about smokeping, more about tcpping. So, since TCPPing is building a TCP link [via SYN/RST] - I'd assume that low level packet loss that might be seen in an UDP/ICMP ping won't be present in a TCPPing, right?
Now if the loss is quite large [my guess is at least 15% or more] you'll see some of that packet loss in the TCPPing probe too. [Though I'd expect the level of loss to be lower since the TCP stack is handling loss and doing re-transmits in the background.] It's only when the packet loss rate is such that TCP can't handle the loss internally and starts being unable to handle re-transmission before timeout that you'd see actual loss on a TCPPing. Do I have this right, or should I go back to huffing glue? -Greg _______________________________________________ smokeping-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/smokeping-users
