[Bigsister-devel] icmp_ping module modification - any words of wisdom?

[Alexander K. <ku...@un...>]

Hi,

We use icmp_ping to test a dozen of connections that are necessary for
smooth operation of university network.  But icmp_ping have only a few
knobs that you can tune.  Most of performace parameters are hardcoded. 
So we would like to add certain parameters:

persantage of lost packets for red alarm
persantage of lost packets fot the warning

RTT for red alarm
RTT for warning.

We have certain lines (128k) which produce tons of alarms.

But before we jump into this activity I would like to ask developers is
it worth doing (may be there are other means to solve this problem)  Or
perhaps icmp_ping is being replaced by a different module.

Sasha.
