Some > inputs from experts will be very helpful :-) A good friend of mine is the author of noping/oping/liboping: http://noping.cc/ It's a pretty sweet tool. It supports a tonne of options and has nice displaying/graphing. It also has support for multiple address families, can ping multiple addresses per hostname, etc. The tool is LGPL/GPLv2 licensed, but the last time I talked to the author, he said he was willing to go through the hoops to get it relicensed to BSD/MIT if a party like us would be interested in using it. Maybe it's worth considering going that route? Best regards, -- Ed Schouten <ed@80386.nl>
