Ping Predictability
Ping Predictability
- Metric developed by Kimberly Claffy of NLANR
- Scatter plot avg/max ping thruput vs avg/max success
- thruput = 2000 Bytes / (1000-byte ping response time)
- success = 1 - # packets lost / total packets
- Points close to coordinate (1,1) represent predictable performance
- points very different from (1,1) usually mean big differences between day & night, often due to overcommitted components
