[smokeping-users] Fping strange behavior

[L B]

Hi the list,

 It'y mabe a more fping related question, but it's a problem for my
smokeping.

The fping command line is taken from the debug mode of smokeping.

Here s the problem :

# Ping several IP addresses

[root at XXX ~]#  /usr/sbin/fping -C 20 -q -B1 -r1 -b40 -t3000 -i1 -p1500
10.0.254.252 10.0.254.254 10.0.4.1 10.0.100.20
10.0.254.252 : 1.55 0.87 0.49 1.33 0.41 0.44 0.40 0.38 0.47 0.38 0.74 0.47
1.14 1.02 0.36 0.46 0.41 0.36 3.27 0.34
10.0.254.254 : - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
10.0.4.1     : - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
10.0.100.20  : 1.21 0.90 0.36 0.93 0.31 0.33 0.36 0.31 0.39 0.31 0.71 0.48
0.99 0.96 0.35 0.42 0.40 0.37 1.04 0.99

# Do it again to make sure it's ok

[root at XXX ~]#  /usr/sbin/fping -C 20 -q -B1 -r1 -b40 -t3000 -i1 -p1500
10.0.254.252 10.0.254.254 10.0.4.1 10.0.100.20
10.0.254.252 : 0.63 3.12 0.48 1.03 1.20 0.37 0.41 0.99 0.47 0.33 3.04 0.37
0.36 0.50 0.52 0.36 1.02 1.06 0.40 0.47
10.0.254.254 : - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
10.0.4.1     : - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
10.0.100.20  : 0.60 1.02 0.35 0.32 0.91 0.35 0.35 1.10 0.36 0.51 1.06 0.37
0.36 0.44 0.47 0.31 0.35 0.32 0.36 0.37

# Try with 2 IP addresses

[root at XXX ~]#  /usr/sbin/fping -C 20 -q -B1 -r1 -b40 -t3000 -i1 -p1500
10.0.254.254 10.0.4.1
10.0.254.254 : 2.03 0.98 1.82 0.58 1.09 0.37 1.13 0.40 0.42 0.41 0.42 1.48
0.47 0.64 0.34 0.47 0.98 0.48 0.41 0.37
10.0.4.1     : - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

# Now the 10.0.254.254 answers the ping
# Try with the other IP address which does not respond :

[root at XXX ~]#  /usr/sbin/fping -C 20 -q -B1 -r1 -b40 -t3000 -i1 -p1500
10.0.4.1
10.0.4.1 : 1.09 0.39 0.99 0.47 0.61 1.41 2.03 0.34 1.00 0.32 0.38 0.36 1.24
1.00 0.30 0.41 0.37 0.44 0.49 0.38

# And it responds...

I don't have dropped packets or errors on the machine issuing the fpings.

Any Idea ?

thanks
