Ping decimal places
Not ApplicablePublicBUG

Description

VyOS seem to suffer from iputils bug that sometimes displays 2 decimal places in ping roundrip time.

Quite likely older versions are affected as well.

$ ping 1.1

Event Timeline

FileGo renamed this task from Ping bug to Ping decimal places.

I don't seem to see the obvious problem (maybe I don't understand what you're referring to), assuming there is a problem and this is also an issue introduced by third party system components, maybe you should go upstream with feedback

Viacheslav edited a custom field.
Viacheslav changed Is it a breaking change? from Unspecified (possibly destroys the router) to Perfectly compatible.
dmbaturin set Issue type to Unspecified (please specify).
Viacheslav subscribed.

It looks fixed by the upstream
