Re: [Full-disclosure] [RFC] Eye diagram & sampling points - Very Low Signal to Noise Ratio on FD

I recommend altering the sampling spot & frequency, once the frequency of mails start rising to a rather high level, take a sample, and thrash the rest.
If required, repeat over a period of at least 3 days to manage the lag & noise. Oversampling could yield erraneous results and could lead to segmentation of the FD community.
