Not a bug, you are flood pinging. Not every ping request will come back. You are hammering the networking code in the kernel, it can't keep up. Actually Pavel is most likely using a recent 2.1 kernel. There is a known problem with the ping binary. Please look at: http://www.egroups.com/list/linux-kernel/77859.html http://www.egroups.com/list/linux-kernel/78066.html (If you don't know who Alexey Kuznetsov is, he did a _lot_ of TCP/IP work in the 2.1 kernels) |
