    Hi Rob;<br>
    <br>
    If you're referring to this page:<br>
    <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://smokeping.ucdavis.edu/smoke/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi?target=Campus.Campus_services.Campus_MISC.Campus_DHCP-PING">http://smokeping.ucdavis.edu/smoke/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi?target=Campus.Campus_services.Campus_MISC.Campus_DHCP-PING</a><br>
    <br>
    then I would question what, exactly, it is that UC Davis is
    measuring, and how that compares to what you want to measure.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
    That target on the UC Davis page is labeled "DHCP Server PING" -- to
    me, that would suggest that they're doing a simple ICMP PING to the
    DHCP host, rather than testing the response time of the DHCP service
    itself.<br>
    <br>
    I'm not aware of any way to measure DHCP service latency with
    Smokeping, or even any plugins to do so.&nbsp; It would probably be
    possible to write a Smokeping module for it though -- one approach
    that comes to mind is to execute dhcping against the DHCP server and
    time the execution (since dhcping basically just reports a yes/no
    status).<br>

          <br>
          DHCP latency does not appear to be part of the standard
          toolbox but after a little but of googling, I saw that UC
          Davis is certainly doing it. &nbsp;Is there a generally available,
          possibly open source, program that I can incorporate into
          Smokeping to do DHCP latency checks. &nbsp;Does anyone know who to
          contact at UC Davis to find out how they&#8217;re doing it?<br>
          <br>
          Thanks,<br>
          Rob<br>
