[smokeping-users] Re: ICMP package size in smokeping?

[Paul Wulff]

Hi Yilmaz,

The default packet size depends on the OS, Probe, and/or the ping utility
being used for SmokePing. For example, Microsoft ping is 32 bytes, Cisco IOS
ping is 100 bytes, Linux platforms typically 56 bytes which also applies to
FPing. You can define the packet size FPing uses with the following variable
in your /etc/config file:

*** Probes ***
+ FPing
binary = /usr/sepp/bin/fping
packetsize = 1024
