Let A == the number of recently lost pings Let B == the number of consecutive lost pings Let C == the number of consecutive returned pings If connection (or group) is UP AND ( (A >= max_packet_loss) OR (B >= max_successive_pkts_lost) then change the connection (or group) to down. Else If connection (or group) is DOWN AND ( (A <= min_packet_loss) AND (C > min_successive_pkts_rcved) ) then change the connection (or group) to up. ci provo :) ciao Mauro -- Per iscriversi (o disiscriversi), basta spedire un messaggio con OGGETTO "subscribe" (o "unsubscribe") a mailto:linuxtrent-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
