icmppingsec calculation with packet loss?
Can someone enlighten me as to how icmpingsec calculates the AVG response times when there is packet loss present?
Consider the item below:
icmppingsec[,5,1000,128,10000,avg]
5 pings requests are sent out (1 per second)
If all 5 come back the AVG latency = SUM(ping response) / 5
What happens when two packets go missing or the max time is reached?
Is the AVG latency = SUM(ping response) / 5
OR
AVG latency = SUM(ping response) / 3 ?
