al@19606 1 liboping – Library to ping IPv4 and IPv6 hosts in parallel
al@19606 2
al@19606 3 liboping was inspired by ping, libping and fping: It differs from these
al@19606 4 existing solutions in that it can “ping” multiple hosts in parallel using IPv4
al@19606 5 or IPv6 transparently. Other design principles were an object oriented
al@19606 6 interface, simplicity and extensibility.
al@19606 7
al@19606 8 On top of liboping two command line applications have been built. “oping” is a
al@19606 9 drop-in replacement for ping(1) with very similar output. “noping” is an
al@19606 10 ncurses-based application which displays statistics while pinging and
al@19606 11 highlights aberrant round-trip times.
