Bug: Network/Aggregate is recommending offline encoders.

[republicus]

The Network/Aggregate is recommending offline encoders.

I suspect a failed ping is treated as a 0 ms reply ; which would rank the offline encoder higher than the other encoders since a lower ping is desirable.

Steps to reproduce:
edit /etc/hosts; point encoder to broken IP.
[Observe that restoring /etc/hosts entry to a good IP also restores proper aggregate recommendation.]

Results:
Offline encoder becomes the recommended encoder.

Expected results:
Offline encoder is never recommended.

@republicus Yes , this bug is already reported multiple times and looks like they can't fix it .
In your case your site is down , not that the encoder is failing the ping
