[mrtg] Re: Ping Packet Payload Parameter

[Jerry Heidtke]

Are you sure they're blocking all ping packets over 50 bytes, or just
packets that are exactly 92 bytes. Many (most?) ISPs are blocking 92
byte ping packets because that's the size that Nacia/Welchia uses.

You could use service monitoring, which uses TCP or UDP (depending on
the service) instead of ICMP.

Say that 5 times fast.....

Real Question:

Does anyone know if there is a way to change the size of the payload
that WUG uses to ping?  Verizon is now blocking ping packets over 50
bytes.
