display scale - above zero - 09/14/06 07:16 PM
not sure if this is a suggestion,
or something that is currently possible.
I'd like to see the realtime display and the bottom graph
be able to have a "floor" setting other than zero.
If I'm watching a node that is consistantly at between 50-80ms
then I'd rather have it show 50-80 vs the current 0-80

This is not currently possible. We toyed around with this a bit, but the fact that both packet loss and latency are represented on the same graph made this confusing when there was a non-0 "floor" value. since you normally would never have a packet loss floor, laying a non-floored packet loss on top of a floored latency looked odd and was relatively confusing.
What kind of a situation are you encountering where a 50ms floor would be a significant help?
Thanks for the feedback.

hi -
I just brought up PP on my DSL line,
and for example, it is showing a round trip time of 10-16ms.
However, the bottom graph has a scale from 0-24 on the left side.
Since it is RT of 16ms, it only is using or displaying the top 1/3 of the graph,
with the bottom 2/3 of the graph area blank or wasted space.
I have the PL% set at 5% on the right side of the graph.
I would think that the left side graph scale could be set for "ms",
and have a range scale to help magnify the peaks & valleys,
and thus use the entire graphing area.
The right side for PL% could pretend the bottom is still zero - like now.
