pping already exists too. It’s a bit of a crowded market…

There’s:

• 2ping <https://www.finnie.org/software/2ping/>

• fping <https://www.fping.org/>

• hping <http://www.hping.org/>

• nping <https://nmap.org/>

• oping <https://noping.cc/documentation/oping/>

There’s also qping, tping and rping, but they are not implementing ping functionality, but are tools for checking the status of specific remote services.

Nice overview. I see there's space for some more networking tools since there's plenty of letters to go. Is there a hash table to pick the next letter?

[toomuchtodo]

Is there an awesome-{}-tools list of these somewhere by chance?

[teddyh]

I just used

  apt-file search --regexp 'bin/.ping'

If I extend it to

  apt-file search --regexp 'bin/[^/]*ping$'

I also find:

• smokeping <https://smokeping.org/>

smokeping is one of the best of these bunch, if not significantly more effort to setup.
