I agree, we see the same thing with our remote sites on 56k frame. 1st ping is missed, then the last 2 are fine.

On some WAN-Lines it is not uncommen for the first ping to get lost and consecutive pings to get through I did set the Trigger to 3 and still get quite a few false positives while the real positives are three minutes late! For those devices beeing able to send two or three consecutive pings would be a great improvement.
