Hello all,

I have a population of 112 servers that are experiencing different levels of packet loss.  I don't want to poll all 112 of them (the analytical tools must be manually run on each individually) so it seems best to sample among them; then I plan on using R to run comparisons of the data pulled from each one.  I'm not clear on the most sound way to go about this and I don't want to invalidate my results through any kind of sampling error.

Thanks in advance,
Pete
