Interesting.
When troubleshooting, I might ping a broadcast address for a network (#
number of times) and then check the arp cache for found mappings.
What's the overall use for your script?

I found myself doing a lot of loops around ping to find machines on
the
network
foreach ip (`seq 1 254`)
ping -c 1 192.168.50.${ip}
end
However fping can ping a range of IPs in parallel. Much nicer!
