Some sample programs are provided in cmd/:

• ping-test is a really simple ping clone
• multiping provides an interactive TUI to ping multiple hosts
• ping-monitor pings multiple hosts in parallel, but just prints the summary every so often
• pingnet allows to ping every host in a CIDR range (e.g. 0.0.0.0/0 :-))

Features

• IPv4 and IPv6 support
• Unicast and multicast support
• configurable retry amount and timeout duration
• configurable payload size (and content)
• round trip time measurement
