Hi smokeping Experts,
I like to know if you ever tried running smokeping inside a VMware virtual machine (Debian Linux guest OS). The effect I see is that when running smokeping on a physical box the network is fine, but when running smokeping from inside a virtual machine a lot of packets appear to be dropped. However, the network applications itself all seem to be fine. My guess is that maybe smokeping is very time sensitive. The virtual machine clock has time jumps and irregularities in the millisecond range (up to 200 ms). So how well does smokeping cope with a system clock which does not constantly show the correct time? Could this explain that some packets appear as dropped (they could just have arrived at unexpected times)? Thanks a lot in advance, F Best Regards.
