check ping unusual issue

[shadih rahman]

All,
   My check ping result is not making sense.  I have the following in
commands.cfg

define command{
        command_name    check-host-alive
        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 45 -4 -w
3000.0,100% -c 3000.0,100% -p 1
        }


However I see the following output


 Mon Aug 17 13:06:34 2009];HOST ALERT: HostA;UP;SOFT;2;PING OK - Packet loss
= 87%, RTA = 2.09 ms
[Mon Aug 17 13:09:24 2009];HOST ALERT: Host B;DOWN;SOFT;2;PING CRITICAL -
Packet loss = 94%, RTA = 4001.56 ms
 [Mon Aug 17 13:14:44 2009];HOST ALERT: Host C;UP;SOFT;3;PING OK - Packet
loss = 93%, RTA = 1.15 ms
 [Mon Aug 17 13:55:14 2009];HOST ALERT: Host D;UP;SOFT;2;PING OK - Packet
loss = 83%, RTA = 2.19 ms


How can I have 87 % packet loss when I am sending only on packet.  Can
someone please explain this to me.  Thanks in advance.
