| Name: fping | Distribution: SUSE Linux Framework One |
| Version: 5.1 | Vendor: SUSE LLC <https://www.suse.com/> |
| Release: slfo.1.1.4 | Build date: Mon Aug 26 10:53:06 2024 |
| Group: Productivity/Networking/Diagnostic | Build host: ibs-power9-12 |
| Size: 83474 | Source RPM: fping-5.1-slfo.1.1.4.src.rpm |
| Packager: https://www.suse.com/ | |
| Url: http://www.fping.org | |
| Summary: A program to ping multiple hosts | |
FPing is a ping-like program that uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request to determine if a target host is responding. FPing differs from ping in that you can specify any number of targets on the command line or specify a file containing a list of targets to ping. Instead of sending pings to one target until it times out or replies, FPing sends a ping packet and moves on to the next target in a round-robin fashion. In the default mode, if a target replies, it is noted and removed from the list of targets to check. If a target does not respond within a certain time limit or retry limit, it is designated as unreachable. FPing also supports sending a specified number of pings to a target or looping indefinitely (as in ping). Unlike ping, FPing is meant to be used in scripts. Its output is designed to be easy to parse.

- no longer invoke permissions macros for fping. It now uses ICMP_RAW sockets
instead (bsc#1174504).
* Mon Aug 17 2020 dmueller@suse.com
- update to 5.0:
- In non-quiet loop and count mode, a line is printed for every lost packet
8.8.8.8 : xmt/rcv/%loss = 2/2/0%, min/avg/max = 12.3/12.5/12.8
8.8.8.7 : xmt/rcv/%loss = 2/0/100%
- The returned size in bytes now always excludes the IP header, so if before it
reported '84 bytes' e.g. when using 'fping -l', now it reports '64 bytes'.
This is to make the reported size consistent with ping(8) from iputils and
also with fping when pinging a IPv6 host (which never included the IPv6
header size).
- The number of sent pings is only counted when the pings are received or have
timed out, ensuring that the loss ratio will be always correct. This makes it
possible, for example, to use loop mode (-l) with interval statistics (-Q)
and a timeout larger than period, without having the issue that initially
some pings would be reported as missing (#193)
- Improved precision of measurements from 10us to 1us (#136, thanks @tycho)
- The reported size of received packets is now always correct on Linux even for
packets > 4096 bytes.
