Can VisualPulse monitor ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) networks?
Yes, VisualPulse 5.2d can effectively monitor ARP networks when configured for 2 pings per IP address. ARP networks cause the initial ping of a device to have increased latency values because it includes the overhead for the ARP route selection process. When configured for dual pings, VisualPulse will initiate 2 pings per device and ignore the first ping result so that latency of the second ping only is measured. The second ping uses the ARP cache and normalizes the ARP overhead.
