Description

I have noticed on multiple (5) independent pfSense installs/locations/ISPs (both active/passive and single-node, x86 and x64) running the pfSense 2.1.x series that the apinger packet loss percentage has a tendency to get "stuck" on a particular baseline value after a high-loss episode.

I have attached two RRD graphs from one router for illustration. As you can see in the attached monthly graph this problem seemingly gets triggered by a real episode of high packet loss but instead of recovering to a baseline of zero percent in this particular example the baseline stays at 6% forever and any actual packet loss is added to that 6%.

Restarting apinger solves the problem and resets the baseline to 0%.

The incorrect packet-loss percentage is reflected both in the RRD graphs as well as the Gateways dashboard widget.
