Description

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.
