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.
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. 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. Is there a generally available,
possibly open source, program that I can incorporate into
Smokeping to do DHCP latency checks. Does anyone know who to
contact at UC Davis to find out how they’re doing it?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
