<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I like to know if you ever tried
running smokeping inside a VMware virtual machine (Debian Linux guest
OS).<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The effect I see is that when
running smokeping on a physical box the network is fine, but when running
smokeping from inside a virtual machine a lot of packets appear to be dropped.
However, the network applications itself all seem to be
fine.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">My guess is that maybe smokeping is
very time sensitive. The virtual machine clock has time jumps and irregularities
in the millisecond range (up to 200 ms). So how well does smokeping cope with a
system clock which does not constantly show the correct time? Could this explain
that some packets appear as dropped (they could just have arrived at unexpected
times)?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
