fping is a computer network utility program that can be compiled and run on various POSIX Operating Systems. It is similar to the ping program in that it sends out ICMP Echo Request packets and reports on host reachability, packet loss, and round trip delay. Unlike the ping program, fping has the ability to send out ICMP packets to multiple hosts in parallel, reducing the time required for checking large numbers of hosts.
With fping’s various features, the user can specify the interval between pinging a certain host and record the package route. Additionally, it can resolve names from IP addresses. Not only does fping use ICMP as stated above, but it can use raw sockets as well.
