 # Spine: a poller for Cacti
 
 Spine is a high speed poller replacement for `cmd.php`. It is almost 100%
-compatible with the legacy cmd.php processor and provides much more

 ## Known Issues
 
 1. On Windows, Microsoft does not support a TCP Socket send timeout. Therefore,
-   if you are using TCP ping on Windows, spine will not perform a second or subsequent
-   retries to connect and the host will be assumed down on the first failure.

    If this is a problem it is suggested to use another Availability/Reachability
    method, or moving to Linux/UNIX.
