perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

Hi Aaron,,

For now, I’m trying to get regular tests between two hosts but it’s giving me 
"bwping: -I: interval too small relative to -t”. I was hoping to see where I 
could set the -t option in the config. I just bumped interval up to 600 and 
it’s working.
