Hi,

the SAGE consultant was noticing the network latency on the "internal switch". He did not like VirtualBox + FreeBSD for that matter (I don't blame him - it was the first "get something up" quickly" configuration).

What problem is the SAGE consultant trying to fix ? In general I see nothing wrong with any of those numbers.

The SAGE consultant had a "just works" setup (a temporay one to have something running when needed) to deal with but not a very well performing one. So he tries to point out where he sees problems. And his Windows (7?) setup + Oracle Linux in VMware workstation setup shows 0.15msec ping returns - my setup ca. 0.5 instead. Both platforms used in the test, Oracle VM and FreeBSD+VirtualBox. As more as I test, I see that both of the solutions give me similar results.. Good to know about 0.5 msec as more or less "typical" ping return values seen by others. Thanks. Peter
