Hello,

is there a more detailed explanation available how SmokePing does draw the smoke into the graphs? I have looked into "Reading the Graphs" from the documentation, but miss some details:

For every round of measurement smokeping sends several packets. It then sorts the different round trip times and selects the median, (ie. the middle one). This means when there are 10 time values, value number 5 is selected and drawn. The other values are drawn as successively lighter shades of gray in the background (smoke).

How can i find out what the smoke will look for such example values where the median will be always 5?

Nr.     Val1    Val2    Val3    Val4    Val5
1       1       1       5       4       1
2       2       2       5       5       1
3       3       5       5       5       1
4       4       5       5       5       1
5       5       5       5       5       5
6       6       5       5       5       5
7       7       5       5       9       5
8       8       5       5       9       5
9       9       5       9       9       5
10      10      5       10      9       5


I have noted that my latency measurements tend to have more smoke above the median measurement than below and wonder what this does mean and how to interprete the graphs.

Greetings,
Thomas
