I am having an issue with Hobbit network tests. There are times when network or (client) system congestion causes a network test such as SSH to fail. The service is not down just slow, I receive a clear almost immediately after I receive the down. To keep my sanity I need the network value upped. In BB I was able to correct this by setting the variables BBNETTIMER[1-3] to higher values. I wasn't able to find such a beast in Hobbit. I opened the file bbtest-net.c and found the int timeout=10; /* The timeout (seconds) for all TCP-tests */ and int extcmdtimeout = 30;
I do not use ICMP as a connectivity test, I use ssh for up/down, to me that is more realistic. I searched the mail archives and didn't find anything. Can I up the values on the time-out to make the test not fail so quickly? Or anybody else have any suggestions on how to work around the issue.
Please advise, Jim
