How much compute and network resources does it take for a NMS to:
1. ICMP ping a device every second
2. Record these results.
3. Report an alarm after so many seconds of missed pings.
We are looking for a system to in near real-time monitor if an end
customers router is up or down. SNMP I assume would be too resource
intensive, so ICMP pings seem like the only logical solution.
The question is once a second pings too polling on an NMS and a consumer
grade router? Does it take much network bandwidth and CPU resources from
both the NMS and CPE side?
Lets say this is for a 1,000 customer ISP.
