[smokeping-users] Smokeping and FPing Issue - Negative Values

[Cogswell, Anthony (DSS-MAS)]

I am running Smokeping 1.34, FPing 2.4b2 and am seeing an abnormal
amount of packet loss.  Did a little digging and I think I found what
the problem is but unsure of how to fix it.
 

When I run FPing against my 4 hosts I sometimes get normal stats back as
below

 

       4 targets

       4 alive

       0 unreachable

       0 unknown addresses

 

       0 timeouts (waiting for response)

       4 ICMP Echos sent

       4 ICMP Echo Replies received

       0 other ICMP received

 

 0.14 ms (min round trip time)

 0.21 ms (avg round trip time)

 0.29 ms (max round trip time)

        0.100 sec (elapsed real time)

 

Then I will also get the following

 

       4 targets

       4 alive

       0 unreachable

       0 unknown addresses

 

       0 timeouts (waiting for response)

       4 ICMP Echos sent

       4 ICMP Echo Replies received

       0 other ICMP received

 

 0.-140485 ms (min round trip time)

 0.-105352 ms (avg round trip time)

 0.27 ms (max round trip time)

        1.490 sec (elapsed real time)

 

I believe these negative numbers I am getting from fping is what is
causing my issues with my packet loss.  After an hour on Google I did
not come up with a solution.

 

If anyone has any ideas please pass them along.

 

Thanks
