Subject: Exposing counter - to track packagedrop?
I was wondering if you could expose the counter.. that tcp_ping_syn maintains.. So f.ex. if I run tcp_ping_syn 100 times against a specific host:port combination.. I would like to get a count of how many ack's was returned (a number less than 100 - would mean a package was dropped)? The best way would probably be to have a seperate function tcp_ping_droprate - where you can get the count of sent and received syn/ack's and percent missed? That wouldn't break existing usage.

Currently I do packagedrop calculations - by sending one ping.. for each endpoint to test.. and then run the corresponding ack (which means I'll wait for $timeout) - and count if I got $latency (otherwise that means the package never got an ack).. that works for calculating packagedrops.. and I have found some targets (when I send 100 tcp_syn's - having a few percentage package drops).. but it also means the test takes 100x$timeout when the port is closed :(
