[smokeping-users] Re: UNCLASS: Re: packet loss

[Hand, Nathan]

The avg loss is not an integer. Eg, I currently have (on
an unusually flaky WAN link)

	avg loss: 0.71/20 pkg

I always convert this to percentage in my head anyway. I
would like to have smokeping do it for me.

sure this would be hackable ... but I find it sort of strange to
give a percentage for so few packets ... if we sent 1000 packets
then % would seem natural to me ... but when we send 20 things
would be in 5% steps anyway ...

anyone ... what do you think ... would % help the readability of
the graph ?
