Clearer documentation for SMART PING #66

Closed x7upLime closed 2 months ago

x7upLime commented 3 months ago

The paragraph "no on-demand host checks" is confusing and hides a detail about smart ping that should be immediately visible to the reader.

This commit restructures the "2. Smart Ping — Intelligent host checks" first sections keeping the meaning intact, and moves in the first section, the description of smart ping's behaviour of listening for TCP packets and not UDP packets. The explanation of this behaviour is otherwise is hidden in the next paragraph, which could be easily overseen as thought as not connected to smart ping's description.

This issue is connected to a thread in the community forum. It affected me personally, but I'd be happy to nurse this PR if other members of the community had the same misunderstanding.
