Hello all, i'm looking POE for a multiple host pinger. My porpuse is to ping about 2000 hosts every 60/120 seconds printing out host status and RRT. Anyone is using POE with this big list? I've seen sample script online, changed part of my @addresses to read them from a file, but I've seen that many hosts are reported all down even if are up!
1) Does it matter how many hosts are in the list? Is there a threshold above which you start seeing failures?
2) Have you tried tcpdump to watch the network traffic? -kevin
