liboping was inspired by ping, libping and fping: It differs from these
|
|
existing solutions in that it can "ping" multiple hosts in parallel
|
|
using IPv4 or IPv6 transparently. Other design principles were an object
|
|
oriented interface, simplicity and extensibility.
|
|
|
|
On top of liboping two command line applications have been built.
|
|
"oping" is a drop-in replacement for ping(1) with very similar output.
|
|
"noping" is an ncurses-based application which displays statistics while
|
|
pinging and highlights aberrant round-trip times.
|
|
|
|
This package also provides a perl module is a high-level interface to the
|
|
oping library.
