Hi, I have just released fping 4.0-rc3
Please help me test it: http://fping.org/dist/beta/ Since 4.0-rc1, the following has changed: * INCOMPATIBILE CHANGE: discard late packets fping will now discard replies, if they arrive after the defined timeout for reply packets, specified with -t. This change is relevant only for the counting and looping modes, where the measured times should now be more consistent (see github issue #32 for details). To prevent loosing reply packets because of this change, the default timeout in counting and looping modes is now automatically adjusted to the period interval (up to 2000 ms), but it can be overriden with the -t option. The default timeout for non-looping/counting modes remains 500 ms. * INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: no restrictions by default fping will not enforce that -i is >= 1 and -p >= 10 anymore, except if you ./configure with the new '--enable-safe-limits' parameter. The reasoning to removing the restrictions by default, is that users can clog the network with other tools anyway, and these restrictions are sometimes getting in the way (for example if you try to ping a lot of hosts). * INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: default interval (-i) changed from 25ms to 10ms The default minimum interval between ping probes has been changed from 25ms to 10ms. The reason is that 25ms is very high, considering today's fast networks: it generates at most 31 kbps of traffic (for IPv4 and default payload size).
