Ping Jitter Sensor

A series of Pings is performed against the given URI to determine the statistical jitter. The Real Time Jitter value is updated every time a packet is received using the formula described in RFC 1889:

Jitter = Jitter + (abs( ElapsedTime - OldElapsedTime ) - Jitter) / 16

The Statistical Jitter value is calculated on the first xx packets received using the statistical variance formula:

Jitter Statistical = SquareRootOf(SumOf((ElapsedTime[i]-Average)^2)/(ReceivedPacketCount-1))

This sensor requires the Microsoft .NET Framework to be installed on the computer running the PRTG probe: Either the local system (on every node, if in a cluster), or on the system running the remote probe. If the framework is missing, you cannot create a PTF sensor.

Required .NET version: 2.0 or higher.
