apinger is terrible needs replaced !!

rotation could help but there has been time that i had to stop it and wait (making whole in graph) then start it as a simple restart did not bring the pings back from .9 ms to normal 30ish ms  and not sure why.
if you set it up to warn at 200 ms and kill at 700 ms i have had it mark gate way down with pings well under 700ms 

I still have trouble understanding how this has been/is such a low priority issue for ***sense but maybe you dont need such stuff for business connections ?
can't imagine think wont or hasn't caused some turnaway from troubleshooting and could be worse as more economical hardware comes to the market

but like the saying goes depends on what side of the bathroom door your on and seem must are inside unlike me :)

yes as there has been almost no cleanup or change to Apinger I dont think it fixed itsself (that would be some cool code) not sure how to describe it the most accurate way
1 will fall to unrealistically low ping times at time <1ms and stay till it gets killed and restarted
2 it will report 100% and sometimes > 100% packetless when starting ping from firewall or another computer shows this is not correct
3 unreliable at marking gateway down and bring it back

These issue are most noticed when isp is poor or having know problems

one of my isps was so bad they had blocked icmp form 2002-2009ish   so had no means of fallover durning that time
had an old Xincom 502 router that had 3 different means of detecting failed connections
one was traffic flow another was an http check and icmp

not sure what any of linux distros currently use but am starting to study that now in my free time now that got to playing with virtualbox some   

wish i had the $$ to move this along on either opnsense or pfsense but as i am just a home user all i can do with my limted $$ is help trouble shoot with my 2 low quality connections but the dual wan is the feature that brought me to pfsense and opnsense

We've made it so far with OPNsense, I see danger from fixing apinger for fame, making others less likely to migrate away from their current solutions. I'm all about open source; and I'm also allowed to say no. Hope that helps.

I dont under stand how its a danger??
but i have a big need for a better monitor/failover system with 2 poor residential isp's
