Title: Quality reporting
Post by: klontje on November 09, 2020, 09:41:59 AM
Hello,

my girlfriend has been complaining about work connections sometimes getting disrupted, while I have no issues (except for once). I have been looking at the graphs in OpnSense and have a question about the stddev in the graph, what does this tell me? It is unclear to me. Loss and latency are pretty clear, but stddev is also not mentioned in the documentation.

Never mind, I figured it out myself. Just for anybody else searching for this, it stands for 'standard deviation' and is a reflection of the deviation from the standard baseline on latency (and possibly also packet loss).

Pretty self explanatory once you know what stddev stands for  :P

You may want to consider Smokeping for more detailed analysis of your latency: https://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/

It would need an internal server - e.g. a Raspberry Pi
