is that it is just slower. You are better off downloading and installing "fping".
Once you do this, you will need to rebuild hobbit and select fping in the build
process. The “hobbitping” tools was a nice idea, but never was
fully developed.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<br>
<font face=sans-serif size=2><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>for
some time I am having problems with out ping test of hobbit. It runs longer
that the time intervall. Is it possible to speed up the test? I don't want to
make the intervall longer.</span></font><br>
<font face=sans-serif size=2><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>I
am using the hobbitping. I tried doubling --max_pps from 50 to 100 with no
effect. </span></font><br>
<br>
<font face=sans-serif size=2><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>Most
of the time the DNS-lookup eats up 20 seconds, but sometimes it is near zero!
Why that? Most of my monitored system have a testip tag, so should not do any
DNS lookup at all. But some WLAN accesspoints which are configured for using
DHCP does not have the testip tag.</span></font><br>
<br>
<font face=sans-serif size=2><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>In
the manpage of hobbitping I read something about a runtime of 18 seconds for
1000 clients. Why it is so slow on my machine? It's a fast machine, Opteron
with 1GBit network interface.</span></font><br>
