Re: [atlas] meaning of error message in Ping measurements

Hi,

Could someone please help me figure out what these error messages in result field of ping measurement mean? - error: sendto failed: Invalid argument (related to name resolve?) - error: sendto failed: Bad file descriptor

These are errors returned by the sendto system call on the probe. The sendto(2) manual page on Linux gives a description of when sendto returns those errors. By and large I would say that these errors are not supposed to happen. So this is probably a bug in the probe code. Philip
