[smokeping-users] Smokeping - Why 20 pings?

[ITheodoridis at bankofgreece.gr]

I would be expecting security people to worry if it's a compromised host
scanning the network (that has happened to me) but not the network
admins.. I totally agree with Eric.

I'm sure this has probably been asked before, but why was the number 20
chosen as the number of pings to use for SmokePing?

The more data you have, the more the smoke is more relevant. Since the
smoke is essentially measuring jitter, or at least the variance between
multiple ping response times, the more that are tested and recorded the
more useful the data can be.  Plus you can set the size of the pings to
something smaller if it helps but really, if your network can't handle
that many pings then there is something else to be concerned about. If
pings are making the top of any utilization graph then I would guess
that network path isn't very highly utilized at all and there really
shouldn't be anything to worry about. Sure, oodles and oodles of pings
can look daunting, especially to a nubile network admin who just got a
hold of wireshark or netflow for the first time...
