NAME
     Smokeping::matchers::ExpLoss - exponential weighting matcher for packet
     loss with RMON-like thresholds

DESCRIPTION
     Match against exponential weighted average of last samples, thus new values
     are more valuable as old ones. Two thresholds - rising and falling - pro-
     duce hysteresis loop like in RMON alert subsystem. If the average reaches
     the "rising" threshold, matcher go to the "match" state and hold It until
     the average drops under the "falling" threshold.

     Call the matcher with the following sequence:

      type = matcher
      pattern = ExpLoss(hist => <hist>, rising=><rising> \
		       [,falling => <falling>] [,skip=><stat>] [,fast=><fast>])

     Arguments:
      hist    - number of samples to weight against; weight will be disposed
     with
		exponential decreasing manner from newest to oldest, so that the
		oldest sample would have 1% significance;
      rising  - rising threshold for packet loss, 0-100%
      falling - falling threshold for packet loss, default is <rising>
      skip    - skip <skip> number of samples after startup before "fire"
     alerts.
      fast    - use <fast> samples for fast transition: if the values of last
     <fast>
		samples more then <rising> - take "match" state, if less then
		<falling> - take "no match" state.

     Note:
      If the actual history is less then <hist> value then this value is taken
      as the actual history.
