in reply to Re^3: Net::Ping output
in thread Net::Ping output

I am sorry ,but didn't get you .would you please elaborate more,because I have seen this code & it does not seems like to draw the required values

$p = Net::Ping->new(); $p->hires(); ($ret, $duration, $ip) = $p->ping($host, 5.5); printf("$host [ip: $ip] is alive (packet return time: %.2f ms)\n", + 1000 * $duration) if $ret; $p->close();

Now please tell me how can I calculate RTT,how I can get transmitted packets,recieved packets.Please!!!

    RTT is stored into $duration; if a packet was received, $ret is true. Are you aware that you are using a programming language and can make the computer do things?
    my $p = Net::Ping->new(); $p->hires(); my $received = 0; for (1..4) { # 4 is the amount of packets transmitted my ($ret, $duration, $ip) = $p->ping($host, 5.5); $received++ if $ret; printf "Your RTT is %.2f ms\n", $duration * 1000; } printf "Received %i packets\n", $received;
    Throw in a sleep 1; there somewhere if you want.

      Ok , then how it will tell that its minimum or maximum RTT

        The same way you would do it in real life: Compare it to a previously stored minimum and maximum.

      That is by far the most sarcastic sentence I've read in ages! roflmfao!
