[PLUG] ping

[Jeff Abrahamson <jeff@purple.com>]

To all you sysadmins out there: how often can someone send you ICMP
packets (ordinary pings) and stay below the threshold of annoyance?

For example, if I do a ping -c 1 (-c is count) against you once a
second, might you complain? What about once a minute? Etc.

I'm trying to gather some data on my DSL and cable service
reliability, but I don't want to get people around me upset. (I was
thinking of once a minute single pings.)

Thanks.
