     RE: [snips-users] /bin/ping vs. /usr/local/snips/bin/multiping

read: http://www.netplex-tech.com/software/snips/design.html under the monitors section.  if you monitor many devices, you will quickly find that /bin/ping cannot keep up.
 
it's probably seeing the high rtt before you do.  i havent seen it send a false positive out before...

Subject: [snips-users] /bin/ping vs. /usr/local/snips/bin/multiping

Yesterday, we moved ippingmon from
 
    /usr/local/snips/bin/multiping
 
to
 
    /bin/ping
 
because the former was showing artificially high round-trip times.  Has anybody had this problem?  Any downside to using the system ping?
 
I am new to the list.  Forgive me if I am raising an RTFM sense.
