# 4. Set the mailtarget (who is getting the report).
#
# 6. Define the message size. The following is a list of suggested
# sizes:
# 56-bits
# 256-bits
# 512-bits
# 768-bits
# 1000-bits
# 1500-bits
# Keep in mind the number of ICMP messages and their size affect
# the runtime of the script and the expected round-trip results. Larger
# packets will take longer to process. Larger packet sizes (above 512)
# also may overrun the application buffer. So when configuring the
# script for sending large packet sizes, keep the number of requests
# low.
#
# This is set in the Check Script command section of the script.
#
# To enable the fast packet option if desired, by adding the -f
# flag to the command line.
#
# For best results run the script at different points during normal
# usage hours. Keep track of the data to establish a performance
# baseline
.
# Large shifts in performance should be investigated.
