[Marco Avvisano]

I have understand that the timeout it's not only for the first packet
there is a initial timeout
Successive  timeouts  are  multiplied  by the backoff  factor (-B option)
But these is not normal:
 fping -c 3 -t 20 r-router1
r-router1 : [0], 84 bytes, 247 ms (247 avg, 0% loss)
r-router1 : [1], 84 bytes, 14.2 ms (130 avg, 0% loss)
r-router1 : [2], 84 bytes, 10.9 ms (90.9 avg, 0% loss)

No ?
