G'Day all,
Why is there a 90-95% packet loss when I flood ping localhost? I'm not saying this is a bug or not, I am purely curious. I am assuming that it is because the kernel can't reply to the pings in less time then ping allows.
# > ping -f localhost PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes ...................................................................... ...................................................................... [SNIP] --- localhost ping statistics --- 1855 packets transmitted, 177 packets received, 90% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 3.9/155.1/232.3 ms
I also noticed the average time it took for a ping, which is quite high.
Cheers Mof.
