Hello,
>From the ping man page :
-f Flood ping. Outputs packets as fast as they come back or one
hundred times per second, whichever is more. For every
ECHO_REQUEST sent a period ``.'' is printed, while for every
ECHO_REPLY received a backspace is printed. This provides a
rapid display of how many packets are being dropped. Only the
super-user may use this option. This can be very hard on a net-
work and should be used with caution.
You've also the bing program from the ports (DESCR follows)
Bing is a point-to-point bandwidth measurement tool (hence the 'b'),
based
on ping. It is written by Pierre Beyssac <pb@fasterix.freenix.fr>.
