Henry's Points

Due to testing on the network, the package lost rate is needed. The following bash script shows how to get percentage of package loss. I split IP address to four segments since it will be easy to manipulate for loop.

PINGTMP=/tmp/ping.tmp

IP_1=`echo $IPADDRESS | awk -F”.” ‘{print $1}’`
IP_2=`echo $IPADDRESS | awk -F”.” ‘{print $2}’`
IP_3=`echo $IPADDRESS | awk -F”.” ‘{print $3}’`
IP_4=`echo $IPADDRESS | awk -F”.” ‘{print $4}’`
ping -t 5 -c 2 $IP_1.$IP_2.$IP_3.$IP_4 > $PINGTMP
pack_loss=`awk ‘/statistics/{getline;print $6}’ $PINGTMP`
echo $pack_loss
