I lost the thread on the idea of adding standard deviation to our ping code due to a fit of overzealous cleaning, but I wanted to throw in a vote of support for that, and one new(?) idea. It would be nice if the ping summary showed the size of the packets used. Something like: --- freefall.freebsd.org ping statistics --- 10 1024 byte packets transmitted, 10 packets received, 0% packet loss If line length is an issue, I'd say that the "packets" in "10 packets received" is redundant and repetetive. :) I'm not a programmer, so I don't have a patch for you, but if someone wants to whip one up, I'll be happy to test it on my 2.2.1 system. Also, if there is a better list to send this to, let me know. I'm not on -hackers or I'd send it there. Doug The man who fears nothing, loves nothing.
