I recently turned on netmon tracing in order to watch how netmon reacts to a
down interface.  I have status polling defined for a 2 second timeout and 3
retries.  What I found in the trace log was three separate ping attempts (I
expected four).  The first had a timeout of 1 second.  The second ping had a
timeout of 2 seconds, and the third had a timeout of 1 second.  Can anyone
explain the timeout values observed, and why I did not see a thrid retry?  I
have about 5000 objects being polled at 5 minute intervals by Netview 5.0 on AIX
4.2.1.
